Inside Finarte’s joyful world of handwoven rugs and textiles.🧵
If there is one thing Finnish design does exceptionally well, it is making a virtue of the handmade.
At this year’s
@helsinkidesignweek and
@habitarefair , design company Finarte puts that idea front and centre with a new collection of handwoven rugs, created in collaboration with emerging Finnish designers including Minni Havas and Saana ja Olli.
Founded in 1985, Finarte has long championed Finland’s rich textile traditions, pairing contemporary design with techniques passed down through generations.
Its rugs are handmade using natural and recycled materials, from handwoven wool dhurries to the brand’s signature rag rugs, giving traditional craft a contemporary twist.
At the heart of the story is Finarte co-founder and textile artist
@eijarasinmaki , who has been rethinking the humble Finnish rag rug since the 1970s. 🪡
