Scandinavian illustrator and artist extraordinaire Kustaa Saksi is one of Finland’s finest exports. He creates retro-futuristic kaleidoscopic landscapes fusing organic shapes with vivacious imagery and vivid colours into radiating new world psychedelia. Often paradoxical, playful, the surreal Scandinavian motifs teem with inspiration and delight the senses.

Offpiste is the first book to bring his dynamic work in one place for the first time. Named after the skiing term where a skier deliberately goes off trail in undeveloped terrain, this book presents Kusta Saksi’s artistic journey like an off-piste skier.

Recognized early on by the magazine industry, his work has been featured in Wallpaper, Dazed & Confused, Flaunt as well as The New York Times to name a few. Saksi also has an impressive list of clients whom he’s designed campaigns for including Comme des Garçons, Diesel, Issey Miyake, Lacoste, Levi’s, Mercedes Benz and MTV amongst many others.
