OODI art rugs
Year: 2018
Oodi features seven large art rugs to liven up the premises and tickle your imagination. The visuals of the rugs were created by Finnish designers Laura Merz, Aamu Song and Johan Olin, Marika Maijala, Piia Keto, Matti Pikkujämsä, Sakke Yrjölä and Jenni Rope. The rugs were handmade in North India with respect for centuries-old handcraft traditions. The art rugs depict Finnish literature classics from Minna Canth to Aleksis Kivi and from Mika Waltari to Tove Jansson. The art rugs are located in the Book Heaven on the third floor.
Design concept and the idea: Heikki Ruoho
