"Turi" is a vibrant tribute to a pioneer of Norwegian design, handicrafts, and visual arts, and an inspiring tale of artistic evolution and sustainable living. From 1960 to 1980, Turi developed iconic decorations for Figgjo Fajanse (a Norwegian porcelain manufacturing company, founded in 1941). In 2018 Turi received the prestigious King's Merit Medal Knight of the 1st Class of the Order of St Olav for her significant contributions to Norwegian industrial design. For the past 40 years, she has been an influential textile artist, weaving a fabulous visual language that explores the intersection of domesticity, craftsmanship, and art from a female perspective.

Authored by Torunn Larsen with stunning photography by Marie von Krogh, this book offers an intimate glimpse into Turi's diverse career as an industrial designer for Figgjo Fajanse and her prolific work as a textile artist.
