Experience the magical beauty of Maija Lavonen’s textile works!

If, for any reason, you can’t visit the exhibition on-site in Helsinki, you’re welcome to join us for a virtual guided tour! The tours are live-streamed once a month on Wednesdays via Architecture & Design Museum's Facebook page.

Maija Lavonen (1931–2023) is one of Finland’s most prominent designers and an internationally recognized innovator in textile art. Over her long career, she developed new techniques, challenged the traditional rug tradition, and helped usher in a golden age of textile art in Finland. Throughout her life, she was a pioneer, creating groundbreaking light art using optical fibers even in her 80s.
