Kihnu is a design studio working between Copenhagen and London.
Founded by Danish textile designer Kristina Kazantseva in 2020, the studio creates objects existing within the field of art and design.
Kihnu’s practice within textile design is based on experiments with materials, textures, surface and shape.
The designs are soft, quirky and imperfect - created to make surroundings more playful and exciting.
