Today I want to present you and recommend a very special Finnish design shop for your purchases
TAIGA Colors is located in the heart of Helsinki, between the Market Square and Senate Square in Tori Quarters and also belongs to Design District Helsinki
When I visited this interesting little but nice shop I met the founder of TAIGA Colors, the photographer and designer Jutta Kuure, and her told me that has always loved the colors and when she was a little girl his best friends were the pens and a kaleidoscope
TAIGA Colors is a Finnish design company specialized in pattern design, and has its own bag and interior design collection ( their customers include for example the Finnish Defence Forces, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and Team Finland) for private customers
The key values of TAIGA Colors are high quality and 100% Finnish work, their patterns include Finnish nature and urban Helsinki themes, all the patterns are created by Jutta Kuure
In autumn 2014 Jutta Kuure designed patterns on Finnish nature and urban Helsinki, named them TAIGA Colors, and ran a successful crowd-funding campaign for the collection, in December 2014 TAIGA Colors Helsinki is opened
Very interesting is the story of Juuso bear that gave Jutta the inspiration to create a new collection that includes cushions, bags and zipper pouches
The Predator Center in Kuusamo has six brown bears, and one of them, Juuso, loves painting and “JuJu Collection” is designed based on Juuso’s original paintings
All Taiga Colors items, also the “JuJu Collection”, are manufactured in Finland.
The material used on Taiga Colors products has been certified bear-proof, since Juuso has tested the products – 10 % of the sales of the “ JuJu Collection” is donated to The Predator Center in Kuusamo
If you want to buy a very special and original item for your home I recommend you when you will be in Helsinki to go and have a look at this really nice shop
There is also a shop online in their website https://www.taigacolors.fi/
You can find TAIGA Colors also in the most important social

Oggi voglio presentarvi e consigliare un negozio di design finlandese molto speciale per i vostri acquisti
TAIGA Colors si trova nel cuore di Helsinki, tra la Piazza del Mercato e la Piazza del Senato, nel quartiere di Tori e appartiene anche al Design District di Helsinki
Quando ho visitato questo piccolo ma interessante negozio ho incontrato la fondatrice di TAIGA Colors, la fotografa e designer Jutta Kuure, e lei mi ha detto di aver sempre amato i colori e quando era una bambina i suoi migliori amici erano le penne e un caleidoscopio
TAIGA Colors è una società di design finlandese specializzata in design di modelli e ha una propria collezione di borse e interior design
I valori chiave di TAIGA Colors sono alta qualità e lavoro al 100% finlandese, i loro modelli includono la natura finlandese e temi urbani di Helsinki, tutti i modelli sono stati creati da Jutta Kuure nell’autunno 2014 e nel dicembre 2014 TAIGA Colors Helsinki è stato aperto
Molto interessante è la storia dell’orso Juuso che ha dato a Jutta l’ispirazione per creare una nuova collezione che include cuscini, borse e portafogli con cerniera
Il Predator Center di Kuusamo ha sei orsi bruni, e uno di loro, Juuso, ama dipingere e “JuJu Collection” è stata progettata sulla base dei dipinti originali di Juuso
Tutti gli articoli TAIGA Colors, così come la collezione JuJu, sono fabbricati in Finlandia
Il materiale utilizzato per i prodotti TAIGA Colors è stato certificato a prova di orso, dal momento che Juuso ha testato i prodotti – il 10% delle vendite della “Collezione JuJu” è donato al Centro Predator di Kuusamo

Purtroppo dalla mia ultima visita questo negozio ha chiuso la propria attività, un vero peccato perchè offriva articoli molto carini ed interessanti dal punto di vista creativo
– rimane aperto il negozio online
Unfortunately since my last visit this shop has closed its business, a real shame because it offered very nice and interesting items from a creative point of view
– the online shop remains open

Finland, the country of a thousand lakes can be considered the largest national park in the world.
In the country at the top of the world, surrounded by a disruptive nature you will have the opportunity to live an unforgettable holiday, driving in the car side by side with the reindeers that move free on the territory or stopping to admire the incredible spectacle of nature that is the midnight sun
Then in the winter months, in an atmosphere of absolute peace there is a crystalline air.
But Finland is not just nature, it is also culture and tradition, just think of Lapland that will welcome you with its immense spaces and its Sami people, dressed in the characteristic colorful costumes.
And then do not forget that in the heart of Lapland right on the Arctic Circle Santa Claus lives, waiting for you in his highly efficient village of Rovaniemi.
It is a country to be seen and enjoyed especially in the summer, but the Finnish winter has a very special charm that manages to amaze you.
