forest We at Aarikka believe that the most important task of design is to bring joy to people’s lives. Our simple Scandinavian design combines joy with cosiness. Finnish nature and the forest have always provided a foundation for our design. Our products are primarily made from wood and other natural materials. We use only Nordic tree types: birch, maple and pine. Our jewellery is assembled by hand in Finland by employees who work from the comfort of their own homes. Our home products are made in Finnish work centres that support employment. Handicraft skills are a valued part of Finnish identity and culture. We work continuously to promote them by employing numerous Finnish artisans. Autumn & Winter 2017–2018 2
