Netta Kandelin is a Helsinki-based designer working across interior architecture, furniture design, and product development. She graduated from the Lahti Institute of Design in 2022 and has a background in visual merchandising as well as marketing and management roles, bringing together creative thinking, practical problem-solving, and a strong understanding of how people interact with objects and environments.
Her work is rooted in a hands-on, material-driven approach. Through experimentation, making, and close engagement with materials, she explores how thoughtful design can enrich everyday life. A continued education in glassblowing after graduating further strengthened her interest in material behaviour, craftsmanship, and process-led design. Functionality is a guiding principle in her work, balanced with carefully considered details, tactile qualities, and a sense of playfulness that gives objects their own character.
Kandelin is particularly interested in the relationship between people, materials, and the routines that shape our daily lives. She seeks to create products and environments that feel intuitive, lasting, and meaningful—objects that invite interaction, evoke memories, and reveal new perspectives through use.
Inspired by warm climates, natural elements, and an endless curiosity to learn, her practice moves fluidly between disciplines and scales. Whether designing furniture, products, spatial concepts, or interiors, she is driven by a desire to create sustainable solutions that combine clarity, functionality, and emotional connection.
