Just like you, we’re completely smitten with good design. An object that brings a smile to your face each time you gaze upon it, each time it eases your everyday life – what’s not to love? Our sustainability strategy’s first part, Flow, is all about longevity. Truth be told, we never cease to find joy in delivering pieces of Nordic happiness to your doorstep: safely, easily, and with the least amount of emissions possible.

Franckly, our little sister dedicated to pre-owned design, turns two this month! Currently available in 23 European countries, Franckly is integral to our sustainability plans, as extending the lifespan of design has a special place in our hearts. August is full of gifts – sign up to Franckly’s newsletter by 9 August at 4 pm (EET)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ and you could win the Moomin’s Day 2018 mug, which marks the birth anniversary of Tove Jansson!

They say that nature is the best designer. The dazzling colours, fascinating patterns and ingenious forms found in nature have also inspired designers and artists throughout the centuries. We picked eight products from Finnish Design Shop's selection where you can see Mother Nature’s handiwork.

We have drawn winners for twenty-one design items between all customers who placed an order between 8 July and 2 August. Gubi's Grässhoppa floor lamp found its new owner in the UK, Artek's classic tea trolley in Finland, and the Twiggy table in Poland – click below to view all the lucky winners. Congratulations!
