Summer is a broad blue sky with wisps of clouds slowly floating by as the sun bakes the dry and dusty roads which lead to the beautiful surroundings of wide-open fields eschewing powerfully perfumed meadow flower scents across the countryside. This is the quintessential Finnish summer day.

Elena Helenius’s NIITTY (meadow) pattern reflects the Finnish summer landscape beautifully. The series products boast practicality, durability and functionality. 

The material used is quick drying and very absorbent. Inspired by the colours, patterns and imperfections of Nature; NIITTY is made from the 100% washed linen, the absolute ideal material for this series.

The products are woven in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland, in the heart of South Ostrobothnia’s fields.
