JF Finlayson by ANNA RUOHONEN

Anna Ruohonen travelled back in time among Finlayson’s museum treasures and selected materials for the collections and designed the patterns, honouring the old methods, and using the knowledge gathered by Finland’s best-loved interior textile company over 195 years.

Traditional high-quality materials and historical designs have been given a new life with a fresh twist and uncompromising sense of style. Even though the JF collection has come a long way from the working-class quarters of the 19th century Amuri to modern Finnish homes, the basic idea has remained the same: durable, functional and timelessly beautiful products, always made of materials of the highest quality.

The collection contained blankets, sheets and bed covers as well as bath towels and bathrobe.

Anna Ruohonen worked with Finlayson in years 2015-2016.
