Heini Riitahuhta studied pottery and glass design at the University of Design Helsinki, from which she graduated with a Master's Degree in 2002. Already attracting attention as a student, she won the gold medal for the Pottery Division of the International Ceramics Competition Mino. Her graduation work, "Helmi" (oil lamp), was selected for the gift collection of Finland's leading ceramic manufacturer, ARABIA, who hired her as a designer. ARABIA's RUNO series has become her representative work.
Inspired by Finnish natural motifs and traditional crafts, her works are often highly decorative, featuring bold lines and original coloring, and she has created works for many projects in Japan.
Currently, she is a member of the ARABIA Art Department, a group that many potters around the world inspire to join, and is active as a pattern designer and ceramic artist.

[Handling Instructions]

- Regarding neps:
Knots of threads formed by intertwined linen fibers that appear on the surface are called "neps".
If prominent, these can be pushed to the underside of the fabric with a pointed object to make them less noticeable.
As shown in the product photo, neps may result in uneven ink coverage.
Although there will be slight differences in the appearance of the different neps and fibers, we hope you enjoy them as part of the rustic atmosphere of linen fabrics.
Please note that fabrics that contain the above conditions are considered normal, good quality products and are not eligible for exchange.
