helsinki is the world design capital 2012 and it is also the headquarters of arabia finland who founded thier factory in 1873. to celebrate they have produced a series of new mugs called 'hometown'. finnish designer miira zukale has drawn inspiration from the city of helsinki, capturing its atmosphere, architecture, nature and features to produce four different mugs park, sea, block, and downtown.
I was just ogling these on the Skandium website last night! Such lovely designs and colours.
ReplyDeleteI love these! I've been lucky enough to visit the factory and shop and have a few of their mugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these, so inspiring. My current project is on Scandinavian (particularly Finnish) design and so these really help
ReplyDeleteHow can I purchase one of these mugs from the US? I live in KY and I adore the Hometown sea mug.
