The exhibition's interior textiles and rya rugs are modern interpretation of traditional handicraft methods. The connection between design thinking and craftsmanship can be seen in these textiles that reflect the legacy of modernism. The core of the works is the relationship between material and technique.

Known for her colourful animal and plant themed knits, textile artist Sirkka Könönen’s (1947-2018) production is on display in the Craft Museum of Finland’s Lobby Gallery 21.12.2019-1.3.2020, in The Colourer of the World – Textile Artist Sirkka Könönen exhibition. Her life was comprehensive as a textile artist, handicraft entrepreneur, and artist, and its abundance is brought out when we step into Sirkka’s colourful, fairy tale world.
