More information:
Aarikka’s spring/summer 2017 collection has taken its inspiration from childhood memories at the lakes of Saimaa. The lived experiences in the peninsulas, beaches, and beach cliffs. The memories are drawn to the products by using, soft forms, natural tones, playful shapes, nature motives, natural materials, and colors. The Saimaa range, Aarikka’s stylishly laid-back addition, brings new and interesting shapes and playfulness to sauna spaces with its wall sconces and its towel hooks that resemble fishing floats. This range, designed by Anni Pitkäjärvi, also includes a sauna thermometer, a small and large wall shelf, a towel clip, a small and large vase as well as stylish Saimaa textiles.
