Description
The KOIVU (“birch”) pattern is a classic designed by Marja Rautiainen. Birch trees, the most common deciduous trees in Finland, are a significant part of our country’s nature and culture. Birch holds a particularly special place in Finnish bathing and sauna traditions: it is the preferred wood for heating saunas, and traditional sauna whisks are most often made from silver birch. Woven from nature’s own materials, our bath and sauna textiles celebrate the role of Finland’s national tree in everyday life.
Materials:
This comfortable pillow’s warp yarn is made of Masters of Linen–certified 100 % linen, while the weft yarn is certified organic cotton. The long staple linen we use is grown with rainwater in Central Europe, and is entirely traceable. The yarns have been spun and dyed in the EU area according to the REACH regulations. The filling is SL-1-graded fireproof polyester. SL references the Finnish flammability grading, with SL-1 being the most fireproof.
