Description

The Kuohu giant towel by Lapuan Kankurit is made for moments by the water, whether you're heading for a swim, the beach or simply your own sauna. Designed by Maëlis Ray, the Kuohu pattern draws both its name and inspiration from the movement of water and the wild energy of foaming waves.

The big towel is made from an innovative blend of European linen, tencel and cotton using Oeko-Tex standards. The material is lightweight, quick-drying and absorbent and feels pleasantly soft against bare skin. The Terva collection includes towels, sauna seat covers and bathrobes in different sizes and materials, produced mainly in the weaving mill of Lapuan Kankurit in Lapua, Finland.

Maëlis Ray

French designer Maëlis Ray was born and raised in Lyon, a city known as the birthplace of silk weaving and the jacquard technique. It’s no surprise, then, that Ray found her path in the world of textile art. After completing her studies in Roubaix, France, and earning a Master’s degree in textiles from the University of Borås in Sweden in 2023, she has developed a unique approach to woven design. Ray combines hand-drawn elements with intricate textures, creating textiles that are both practical and poetic, filled with small, everyday moments of joy and softness.
