Wooden Town

The collection is inspired by the enchanting world of Nordic wooden neighbourhoods. The artist visited historic wooden towns in Finland, including Rauma and Porvoo, where narrow streets, tightly clustered houses and façades shaped by layers of time provided rich material for the creation of patterns.

A wooden town is not merely architecture – it holds stories, memories and quiet fairy tales. There is something timeless in these places: a feeling that moves from century to century, living on in the footsteps of people, the warm glow of windows and the breathing of wood.

The liveliness and playfulness of Nordic wooden towns recalled the world of Pippi Longstocking created by Astrid Lindgren – childlike courage, freedom and imagination, where rules may bend and there are no limits to fantasy. As Pippi herself says:
“I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do it.”
