About Biini Design Studio
Biini Design Studio is run by Ru Biini, a Finnish-Australian textile and design artist.
My practice is grounded in noticing the quiet, small things in daily life and celebrating them with bold colours, shapes and textures. Rooted in contemporary Australian life and shaped by Finnish heritage, Biini is about holding two worlds at once. Each design grows from a desire to explore how these cultures intertwine, offering a fresh perspective on place, belonging, and the spaces we inhabit.
I work slowly and intentionally, creating pieces that are expressive, practical, and free from trends. All Biini pieces are designed and produced in Australia, often in Sydney’s Inner West. I strive to keep every part of the process mindful, sustainable, and community-driven.
​
As a queer, neurodivergent artist it is important to me to make creativity accessible. I love running small workshops across Sydney for beginners, where we celebrate curiosity and courage. Check out my offerings below.
