Finarte
Finarte is Finland's leading design house for rugs and soft accessories, creating award–winning interior items for joyful living. Founded in 1985 and now in the second generation, Finarte is a forerunner in sustainability, championing the use of recycled textiles and natural materials since its inception four decades ago. Inspired by Finnish weaving traditions, especially the räsymatto (rag rug), Finarte collaborates with Finnish designers and Indian artisans to reinterpret traditional craftsmanship, redefining Nordic design as they blend heritage with avant–garde aesthetics. During 3daysofdesign, Finarte can be found at two locations: PLAYROOM in District Kultur, and the Scandinavian Design Embassy in District Frederiksstaden.
Finnish design brands Durat, Finarte and Johanna Gullichsen have built an imaginative world of games and recreation to touch, play and enjoy, to discover the bliss of design. ”Dont forget to Play!”, said Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Throughout history, Finnish design has been driven by bold experimentation and testing. This open and curious way of approaching life has led to unique and practical solutions, which has been the key to the Finnish well–being resulting in the happiest country in the world. Play creates space for curiosity, mistakes, and surprises. In the PLAYROOM—from textiles to furniture—materials become a medium for artistic exploration. PLAYROOM is supported by Finnish Design Info and Helsinki Partners.
