Jenni Ojala and Susanna Hoikkala

Jenni Ojala and Susanna Hoikkala entered the Tonfisk Design team after participating in the "Departures" -project at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki (UIAH). Tonfisk Design was a partner of the design course held by designer Annaleena Hakatie at UIAH 1999-2000. Their design 'Oma', a lemon squeezer to bring to the table, was one of the designs that were picked up by Tonfisk when scouting for young designer talents.
