Riina Õun is a multi-disciplinary designer and researcher. During her Material Futures Masters course, she concentrated on bio-design, materials research and development within the circular economy.

Her background is in leather accessories, specialising in hand-crafted luxury leather gloves for her brand Riina O.

Riina´s goal is to explore how craft has to adapt to working with bio-materials, aiming to bring the materials out of the experimentation stage into practical use in the industry.
