About the Item

"Pässi" sculpture by Kaija Aarikka in charcoal-painted wood, an emblematic piece of Finnish design created in 1973, vintage Aarikka edition. "In 1954, Aarikka co-founded together with her husband the eponymous design bureau Aarikka, to design and manufacture initially wooden buttons and decorative and household items, later expanding also into personal accessories, dress jewellery and giftware. She worked there as the firm's head designer and artistic director for most of her career, also taking over management duties including chairing the Board of Directors from 1977. The first Aarikka store opened in 1960, and by the 1980s there were 20. Aarikka is best known for her simplistic wooden designs, often in characteristic round shapes. One of her most iconic creations is the wooden Pässi ('Ram') sculpture."
