Description
The idea for Maija Fagerlund’s SUMU design began with the weave structure. The goal was to create a surface as varied as possible—an intentional contrast to traditional repetition.
“Weaving techniques are an endless source of inspiration for me. Woven fabric structures are usually quite systematic in nature, but SUMU was inspired by the idea of creating a surface through weaving that is as varied as possible, without any recognisable rhythm. I wanted to create something organic and misty-soft through different weaving techniques.”
SUMU cushion covers contains local Finnsheep wool!
Traceable natural materials
100 % wool textile with the weft yarn of our own. The yarn is spun from the wool fibres of Finnsheep and Finnsheep crossbreeds, which we have obtained from the local farms in Finland, as well as from certified Wool Integrity NZ fibre. The extra weft yarn is made of merino wool. The warp yarn is spun in the EU area from certified, responsible South American, fine-fibre and soft wool fibre. The wool is mulesing-free: we only work with responsible and certified spinning mills which adhere to our code of conduct. All yarns are spun and dyed in the EU area and are mulesing-free wool. The natural-coloured yarns are made of brown, black and white sheep’s wool by melangeing. Nature is the most skilled dyer we know!
Own transparent production
Preserving and developing Finnish textile tradition is important to us, which is why we started collecting local wool from Finnish sheep farms for industrial use. A key motivation for the project was that a large portion of the wool had previously gone to waste. We also rebuilt the production chain that had disappeared from Finland. Now we control the entire wool production process and engage in unique product development while passing on our expertise to future generations.
The product design, material purchases, loom programming and warping as well as the pre-work stages, weaving and fabric inspection are done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. If necessary, the sewing is done in our subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in our own sewing department in Lapua. The product finishing is done in our finishing plant in Lapua.
