The Terttu rug, designed by Eri Shimatsuka for Finarte, reflects the atmosphere of Finnish forests, home to an abundance of wild berries. Hand-knotted from New Zealand wool, the rug is a fascinating combination of luxurious materials and a distinctly bohemian pattern finished with colourful fringes. The Terttu rug celebrates the 100th anniversary of Finnish-Japanese diplomatic relations, drawing inspiration from themes valued in both countries: nature, traditional handcrafts and the beauty found in everyday life.
