Founding Aarikka Oy in 1954, she created a playful, modernist design language that drew on Scandinavian minimalism while infusing it with a distinctly organic softness. Aarikka’s works are widely recognized for their rhythmic repetition of forms, often spheres and geometric shapes, crafted in wood. Today, her designs are considered icons of Finnish modernism, sought after by collectors worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA delightful addition to any Scandinavian design collection, this Aries “Passi” embodies the warmth and optimism at the heart of Aarikka’s work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe ship worldwide.
