Description

The Mum's Kuukkeli cushion is part of the Pipana Natural collection, whose wool pillows were inspired by the beauty of Finnish nature and especially the rugged landscapes of Lapland. The name Kuukkeli translates to "Siberian jay", which is a friendly little bird found in Lapland and other northern regions.

The cushion covers in the Pipana Natural collection are designed in collaboration with Finnish artist Jenni Rope and crafted in India by local artisans. Their gentle shades are created with all-natural dyes – the brown shades of the Kuukkeli cushion cover are obtained from oak bark, nutshells and walnuts. Because of the materials and manufacturing methods, each cushion cover is one of a kind with unique shades and textures that bring a peaceful, natural feel to your home.
