Tarmo Luisk Estonia tarmo.luisk@dak.ee "Hi, my name is Tarmo Luisk, I am 33 years old Estonian. In 1996 I graduated from Tallinn Art Academy as a product designer. Since then I have been working with several companies, mostly at Rinaldo and 4 Room – both lamp manufacturers. Due to that I am mostly considered as a lamp designer. I have taken part in international exhibitions in St. Etienne and Helsinki. Additionally there have been two solo exhibitions and three group exhibitions, where the pick of the bunch of contemporary Estonian design were exhibited. Considerable changes will take place after our accession to the EU because both the Estonian market and Estonian producer need a way to assure continuing development. At present it is possible to buy my products in Norway, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania. How to approach the competition entering Estonian product design market by EU? I think on the whole it will be advantageous, as shown by one of the biggest contests on Tallinn city furniture and park furniture."
