ABOUT US
The co-founders, Antti Rouhunkoski and Timo Mikkonen, have been working on spatial and product design projects since 2010. Previously, the designed products and spaces were under the Poiat brand. Starting from 2023, after branching out from the Poiat furniture brand – where they still serve as artistic directors – the duo now operates under the Rouhunkoski & Mikkonen design studio, creating spaces and products for other companies.
The designers’ passion and interest in architecture and design form the foundation of their visionary work. Designers who appreciate history and culture adapt to various projects with unique sensitivity, creating something new and lasting,
all while preserving the true essence and dignity of spaces and products.
R&M Studio’s spaces and products represent the legacy of classical architecture and design, where the customer’s benefit materializes in everyday life through the use of these spaces and products.
The duo’s work has also received a lot of media attention both in Finland and internationally. Their work has been featured in publications such as Asun, Dezeen, Elle Decor UK, Disegno, Bo Bedre and Monocle and Residence magazines. On year 2022, Unio sofa for Poiat was awarded the warmest design award from Monocle magazine. In 2023, the Aqueduct sofa designed for the company Poiat was nominated in the annual award vote of Interior Design magazine.
