Lapuan Kankurit is participating in the third Fiskars Village Art & Design Biennale! We are proud to share our veranda section together with Parolan Rottinki. Our companies share a deep love for traceable production and top design as well as a rich history of craftsmanship. The designers of our included products, Akira Minagawa and Harri Koskinen, both represent the top of their fields. Akira Minagawa is the founder of the famous Japanese minä perhonen brand, and Harri Koskinen is one of the most esteemed industrial designers in Finland. There will be both surprises and news, as we will be showcasing the coming winter’s new releases: Lapuan Kankurit x minä perhonen blankets!

Fiskars Village Art & Design Biennale is open from June 16th to September 1st, 2024. The main exhibition titled “The Surprise Guest”, found on the first floor of the granary, is inspired by the unique Finnish summer villa culture. The moment of surprise happens when unexpected guests arrive at the villa. The exhibition curator Sini Rinne-Kanto has invited an artist to join each room, whose works adds layers and depth to the spatial experience. Our veranda’s surprise guest is the amazing international artist Laura Gozlan. The veranda was designed by Lapuan Kankurit’s designer Elina Helenius.

Remember to visit also the beautiful Biennale Shop on the ground floor! Welcome to Fiskars!
