Furry friends

A person who loves to use a traditional paper calendar is delighted by Teemu Järvi's Best Friend calendar, which decorates the wall like a work of art.

An everyday assistant

Steamery's products are now available at Finnish Design Shop! A steamer is a great tool for quick garment care: hot steam not only straightens and smoothes but also removes odors and kills bacteria, extending the washing interval of clothes. In addition to practicality, the minimalist Cirrus steamer pleases the eye and is packed in a beautiful cover bag, which is convenient while traveling.

For the home office

If a friend’s home office is reminiscent of chaos, it’s time to put the workstation in order. Vitra’s Locker Box is designed for the evolving needs of office work, and it conveniently carries your laptop, mouse, keyboard, and other accessories. Partially made of recycled materials, the box gathers work accessories at the end of the day, but is also suitable for storing other small, important items.

Woody notes

In case of a gifting emergency, a high-quality scented candle is always a desired item that will delight even after burning – the container can be reused, for example, as a tealight cup. Frama’s Deep Forest scented candle spreads earthy, woody aromas and is made from sustainably sourced vegetable wax. A candle snuffer will give the gift a final touch.
