TOP 5: Autumn morning favorites – the most inspiring new products of the month

Dark autumn mornings can be a shock after a long and bright summer. Fortunately, help is at hand! We’ve selected five new arrivals that will make the early moments of the season feel just a bit easier.

Wake up gently

Getting the right amount of light on autumn mornings is essential: too little makes waking up harder, while too much overwhelms tired eyes. The Putki table lamp, designed by Matti Klenell, is the perfect lighting solution for those cozy fall mornings. The undulating surface filters both the light emitted by the bulb and the natural light coming in from the windows.

Colored in high-luster orange, the Aurora Putki lamp features a unique mirror-like surface evoking the glow of the northern lights. This version is a limited special edition that is available exclusively at Finnish Design Shop and Iittala.

The morning starts with C

For many of us, a morning brew is the ultimate daily essential. With the Hario Skerton N manual coffee grinder, you can enjoy freshly ground coffee beans every morning. This grinder offers adjustable grind settings that allow you to customize the coarseness to your preference, and the high-quality ceramic grinding mechanism ensures a precise and consistent result every morning.

Wake up to a world of delights

Alessi's Toru toaster is designed to energize even the sleepiest mornings with its innovative design, featuring black handles that seem to pass right through its stainless steel body. This clever design inspired the entire Toru collection, with the Japanese word "toru" meaning "through".

Made from durable stainless steel, the Toru toaster includes a convenient crumb tray for easy cleaning. For even more delicious breakfasts, you can enhance your toaster with accessories like a brioche warmer grill and toaster racks, turning daily morning routines into a culinary treat.

A blend of elegance and nature

Many of us take a glance in the mirror each morning before heading into the day’s routine – sometimes with more dread than delight, depending on how much sleep we’ve had. Fortunately, the Knot wall mirror from Lundia turns this daily ritual into something surely enjoyable, thanks to its elegant design.

Designed by Reeta Laine, the Knot is more than just a mirror; it's a stunning piece of home décor. Made from pine, the frame showcases the natural beauty of the wood with its unique grain and knot details. The asymmetrical shape of the carved frame subtly mirrors the organic form of a tree knot, giving the mirror a name that fits perfectly. 

The perfect nap companion

Still tempted to curl up for a little nap? We won’t stop you! Your siesta will feel a touch more delightful when you snooze under the Pihapuu throw by Lapuan Kankurit.

Designed by Saara Obele, the throw draws inspiration for its nature-inspired aesthetics from the world of plants. The blanket is woven at Lapuan Kankurit’s own mill from a blend of fine merino wool and bio-organic cotton, making it feel soft and pleasant even against bare skin. Sweet dreams!
