ABOUT PROCESS PROJECTS CONTACT Hi there, Siru here! I’m an international designer based in Helsinki. I’ve loved design ever since I was a little girl growing up in Finland. I could not have guessed that my childhood games such as sewing drapes, drawing up imaginary floor plans and painting with water and oil colors would lead me to be, years later, driving down Canon Drive in Beverly Hills to visit my latest design project. I graduated from the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Architectural and Interior Design Program. Most of my work experience and training was completed whilst working in the Los Angeles movie industry. I had a great opportunity to do my internship with the world renowned Kelly Wearstler, KWID. I am very thankful for all the great projects that have come my way to hone my designing skills. I’ve had the privilege of working on Johnny Depp’s Hollywood houses and the Finnish production office and home of rock star Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish). I am also part of the Association of Interior Architects (SIO) in Finland.

ABOUT PROCESS PROJECTS CONTACT I design furniture, interiors, lighting and accessories with an eco-friendly, creative and fearlessly inventive style. I take a fresh approach to each project, each object. My tailor made designs ensure even the smallest detail finds its place in the whole. Just as in my childhood, I continue to give my big imagination free rein and have fun playing with textures, form and contrasts; tirelessly looking for new ways to utilize both materials and objects. I love browsing antique shops, second-hand shops and recycling centers to unearth hidden gems that can be brought back to life by experimenting with different designs, until a felicitous combination emerges. I enjoy, for instance, taking a lackluster old chair that some might think is ready for the scrap heap and reinvigorating and transforming it into a one-of-a-kind timeless piece. Every piece has its own history and I take this past into account as I reinterpret it for the future. It’s important to me that every piece of furniture and each space I design both serves its purpose, and brings happiness to all those who use it. And that’s why I love what I do, and why I pour my whole heart and soul into my designs.
