Modern Classic

Stripes in blue and white – it doesn't get any more archipelago than this! The Kulosaari rug, designed by Tuulikki Peltonen, is an ode to the island of the same name in Helsinki. The blue stripes of the wool rug are dyed with woad, and a little polyester has been added to the warp of the fabric to reinforce the wool. The Kulosaari rug is available in three practical sizes.

At the Mercy of the Water

The sea has a wonderfully calming effect, which is why marine-themed posters naturally fit both home and cottage. They find their place in the kitchen, living room, or sleeping area and beautifully complement wooden surfaces and light colours, for example. With such a small interior design choice, the space gains a sense of the open sea!
