Meet the designer: Maija Fagerlund
Maija Fagerlund is a textile designer and a lecturer in textile design at Aalto University, who has mentored countless budding designers during her career. Many of Maija’s former students have also gone to design products for Lapuan Kankurit. Over the years, various projects have also fostered collaboration between the two.
“Back in the day we didn’t have an industrial weaving machine at the Aalto University, so we began collaborating with Lapuan Kankurit: students would get a chance to become acquainted with the operation and premises of an industrial weaving mill, as well as weave their own designs. The first students visited Lapua in 2015,” Maija recalls.

“Limitations provide the framework within which to work, and they force you to think. This makes the whole process more inspired and the project more deliberate.”

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.
