The Household Spirit figurine from Tapio Anttila Collection brings good fortune and care to the home – at least if you follow the included instructions to keep this little gnome happy. In Finnish folklore, the gnome-like household spirits were thought to protect the home, promoting beauty and good manners and, in return, caring for its residents. Household Spirit makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who cherishes a beautiful home and a touch of magic.
Designed by Tapio Anttila, this wooden figurine is part of Tapio's Creatures collection, drawing inspiration from the spirits and gnomes of Finnish mythology. Each figurine, featuring a softly minimal, mysterious expression, is hand-carved in Finland from leftover pine wood and finished by burning and varnishing the surface, highlighting its natural grain. Every piece is unique, with individual cracks and subtle color variations, and each includes a base plate with the character's and designer's names.
