Discover Johanna Gullichsen’s distinctive textiles, where tradition meets modern design. Since 1989, Johanna Gullichsen has created durable, sustainable textiles that blend modern style and traditional weaving. The Normandie collection, made entirely in Finland, highlights local craftsmanship and responsible production. The Project collection, woven in Spain, is designed for demanding public spaces. Choose from fabrics by the meter, ready–made pieces, or custom items to bring Nordic design to any space.

Finnish design brands Durat, Finarte and Johanna Gullichsen have built an imaginative world of games and recreation to touch, play and discover the bliss of design. ”Don't 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 and examining life has led to unique and practical solutions that have also been key to Finland's well–being, making it the happiest country in the world. Play creates space for curiosity, mistakes, and surprises. In Playroom, materials from textiles to furniture become a medium for artistic exploration. Playroom is supported by Finnish Design Info and Helsinki Partners.

A–POC, the acronym of 'A Piece Of Cloth', is the name of the integrated design and manufacturing system first introduced in Paris by Issey Miyake in 1998. A–POC revolutionised the process of clothes–making with its innovative concept of a streamlined, all–in–one operation, in which all the parts of the clothing are pre–woven into a single piece of cloth. Launched in 2021, A–POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE aims to realise the infinite potential of the A–POC system with society in mind—hence the name 'ABLE'. The brand’s designer Yoshiyuki Miyamae and his team of engineers value the dialogue between creator and wearer, as they engage with different professions and industries to further explore new possibilities in design and making.
