Laura Meriluoto (FI)

Laura Meriluoto is a Helsinki-based artist and designer with a Master’s degree in arts from Aalto University School of Arts, Design, and Architecture. Her practice is grounded in a curiosity toward the emotional bonds people form with objects and how these
connections might influence our willingness to care for, keep, and value them over time.

Rather than approaching sustainability solely through materials or production, Laura explores it as an emotional and behavioral question – asking how commitment, attachment, and personal meaning could become tools for more conscious consumption.

Through her work, she seeks to open dialogue about our relationship with objects and how small shifts in perspective might promote more lasting and intentional ways of living. Working between art and design, she creates sculptural objects that serve as vessels for
meaning – inviting reflection on emotional attachment, care, and the way we relate to what we own. Through deliberate materiality, evocative shapes, and production methods that embrace individuality, she crafts objects that aim to reinforce the formation of emotional
bonds. Her objects often take on sympathetic, imperfect forms that highlight the unique characteristics of each material. With a sensitivity to process and scale, she embraces methods that reveal the story of their making – creating works that invite presence, care,
and conversation. reveal the story of their making.
