Meet the designer: Heta Vajavaara
Heta Vajavaara is a Finnish visual artist and designer. She received her master’s degree at Aalto University’s Fashion, Clothing and Textile Design department, and has worked in weaving mills in Japan and Italy.
Heta describes her approach to weaving as both mathematical and material oriented. She’s interested in the technical side of things, how to create unique weaves and colour combinations with the restrictions of the material and the technology.
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.
