Description

Aarikka – We are round is a book celebrating the 70-year history of the beloved Finnish design house. Founded in 1954 by Kaija Aarikka and Erkki Ruohonen, Aarikka has become known for its delightful fusion of wood and round shapes, evident in its jewellery, art pieces and interior products. Aarikka's collections are marked by a unique aesthetic inspired by Finnish design traditions and distinctive handmade craftsmanship.

Edited by Henna Kosten, this 232-page book unfolds the multifaceted history of Aarikka, spanning from its early years to the present. Richly adorned with images, interviews and press clippings, the book not only highlights the renowned products but also brings forward the people and stories that breathe life into them.
