Saveliin Uuskula is a semi-finalist of the Redress Design Award 2019 and is currently studying Fashion at Coventry University in the UK.

“Being a sustainable designer is not easy, but it makes me think out of the box, experiment with possible solutions and come up with new and unique ideas. I strive for my designs to have purpose with a minimum impact on our environment”. - Saveliin Uuskula

redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award collection Saveliin is inspired by Japanese contemporary ceramics and reflects the interesting shapes and textures in her designs. Saveliin applies the design techniques of up-cycling and reconstruction to pre and post consumer textile waste, creating new textiles through cutting and fusing into pre designed pattern pieces using a gelatin-based water-soluble material which has a low impact on the environment.
