Multipurpose Textiles for Multifaced Living
Life cannot be divvied up into neat little categories, and we believe you shouldn’t have to do that with the textiles in your life, either. Our aim is to create textiles that are there for you in any situation, whenever you need – and will continue to do so for generations to come. This means that, besides being durable, our products are built to be extremely versatile.
If there must be a limit to what our products can be used for, let it be defined by your imagination only. After all, we weave all of this for you. Unique, versatile products from authentic natural materials – for your unique, versatile and authentic life.

Meet the designer: Akira Minagawa
Akira Minagawa is a famous Japanese textile designer and illustrator, best known as the founder of the minä perhonen design company. Akira’s style is often described with words such as romantic, naive and imaginative. Akira himself doesn’t submit to a particular style – to him, everything starts with his own memories, which he wishes to bring to life.
“I create with the feeling that I am bringing
Akira MINAGAWA
the fantasies in my mind out of my hands and into the real world.”
Wool is a true natural material, one of its best qualities being heat insulation.
We have made massive investments to be able to make products from local Finnish wool, as well. If we didn’t have wool naturally, we’d have to invent it– its properties are that superior. Wool keeps you warm in the winter cold and feels nice and cool in the summer heat. Authentic wool stays fluffy and does not get dusty, due to wool regulating humidity in such a way that inhibits the growth of dust mites.
As an antistatic material, wool does not attract dust or lint. It repels dirt and stays clean for a long time. Wool textiles do not require washing with water, a good airing out is often enough to refresh them. Although wool is very long-lasting, it is also 100 % biodegradable.
