Tarmo Luisk, Born 31 march 1970

„Kui disainer Tarmo Luisku Eestis ei oleks, tuleks ta välja mõelda!“ nii ütles Heikki Zoova, EKA tootedisainiosakonna juht.

Tarmo Luisk experiments between product design and art. His is a compromise between designer and artist to do a bit of everything. Tarmo Luisk is one of the most well-known and most productive individuals among modern Estonian designers; he has created furniture, lamps and clocks and has also dealt with public space. Luisk’s work is a considered compromise between detail and smartness. He is a perfectionist in design and very critical of himself. He may even redo a sketch of an item a hundred times; it is only important that he himself is pleased with the final result. But most importantly – he believes that design has to be witty. There is always a small trick in his work. He enjoys giving witty titles to his works and so his public looks at his design work through the prism of humour.

Seltskonnas on Luisk tuntud naljamees, kellele ei valmista mingit raskust panna Londonis vagunitäis rahvast metroos eestikeelselt ja mitmehäälselt eesti rahvalaulu laulma.
