Description
MERELLÄ design is a tribute to Liisa Hjelt, who was the first textile designer of the Lapuan Kankurit company. Nature is an endless source of inspiration in jacquard woven textiles. Liisa Hjelt designed the beloved jacquard wall hanging MERELLÄ in the late 70’s. These beautiful textiles created homeliness and brought a piece of nature on the walls of many Finnish homes. As Lapuan Kankurit was celebrating its 50th anniversary, our company’s chief designer Elina Helenius wanted to honor Liisa Hjelt´s extensive and diverse output by doing her own interpretation of the same motives that Liisa channeled in her time. MERELLÄ products are the 2020s version of Liisa’s themes in the 1970s.
Lapuan Kankurit cooperates with the John Nurminen Foundation. The foundation’s goal is to save the Baltic Sea and its heritage for future generations. The foundation’s projects improve the condition of the Baltic Sea by reducing the load on the sea and environmental problems, such as eutrophication and loss of nature. The foundation’s mission is also to cherish, enliven and convey stories and cultural heritage related to the sea. The Foundation’s Clean Baltic Sea projects advance the protection of the joint, unique marine environment, so a cooperation is a natural part of the activities of a responsible, design weaving mill using natural materials. Lapuan Kankurit donates a fixed sum to John Nurminen Foundation’s Clean Baltic Sea projects for each delivered product. We are donating for John Nurminen foundation 4,50€ for every sauna pillow sold.
