Joyful cooking

Fascinating mystique

Blue glass reflects light magically and is guaranteed to impress its audience. Designed by Santtu Mustonen, the name of Kartta glass sculpture refers to an imaginary map that leads the observer to a getaway to another world. The sculpture is made using a mould technology developed by Mustonen himself, in which digital manufacturing methods are combined with more traditional metalworking.

Freshen up with white

While bright colors enliven the environment, pure white also acts as an impressive element, especially when combined with deeper shades and darker wood surfaces. Designed Eero Aarnio in the ’60s, the Pastil Chair sums up the style of the time – the distinctive material and round futuristic shape are still a favorite of many. Pastil Chairs are also available in several brighter shades.

The dining area gets a new playful look when you combine chairs of different colors and designs around it. Artek’s red Aslak chair charms with its lightweight, stackable structure and seating comfort, making it a multifunctional favorite for the dining area as well as the home office.

Decorative detail

The small details are the perfect way to add color to the interior. Ferm Living's beautiful blue Verso table vase completes the look of a table setting, side table, or windowsill as such or with a bouquet of flowers. The vase made of glazed stoneware delights with its interesting design, which is reminiscent of ancient pottery.

What could brighten up a coffee or tea moment better than sunny rainbow colors? The Unikko mugs are adorned with Marimekko's iconic floral pattern, designed by Maija Isola in 1964. The irresistibly fresh and cheerful cups can be easily mixed and matched together.
