The linen and wool weaving mill Lapuan Kankurit has begun a cooperation with the John Nurminen Foundation at 2017. The Foundation’s Clean Baltic Sea projects advance the protection of the joint, unique marine environment, so a cooperation is a natural part of the activities of a responsible, design weaving mill using natural materials. The Lapuan Kankurit AALLONMURTAJA (breakwater) collection is designed by Reeta Ek.
The nautical series designed in shades of blue includes a linen towel, a hand towel, a bag, as well as a sauna seat cover and pillow. The products include the Clean Baltic Sea – Woven in Finland logo, and Lapuan Kankurit donates a fixed sum to John Nurminen Foundation’s Clean Baltic Sea projects for each delivered product. The donated amounts are marked in the Lapuan Kankurit online shop, and on the product cards in the shops.
Esko Hjelt, Managing Director of Lapuan Kankurit, is happy about the new cooperation. – Our customers value clean nature, and they identify Lapuan Kankurit as a responsible, ecological operator. Now, we want to invite everyone to do small good deeds for the good of the nature. By buying AALLONMURTAJA bath products, it is easy to support the wellbeing of the Baltic Sea. Hopefully future generations will get to enjoy the natural clean waters as well, says Hjelt.
Minna Korpela, Fundraising Director of John Nurminen Foundation, is delighted about the new cooperation possibilities in the field of international design. – The support of Lapuan Kankurit in the projects aiming to reduce the nutrient load of the Sea helps us lessen the amount of blue-green algae that comes about every summer. Bathing and sauna products also act as a great messenger: you want to take a dip in the water when the water is clean, and this is our joint goal.
Psst. Together with our customers, we have already donated 49 000 euros to support the Foundation’s valuable work for saving our unique Baltic Sea until August 2023.
