Lo Studio for Woodnotes

Woodnotes is a Finnish design company founded in 1987 by textile designer Ritva Puotila and her son Mikko Puotila. The company is still owned by its founders.

The original concept of Woodnotes' products was to combine the artistic creativity inspired by Finland’s rugged nature with valuable craftsmanship and advanced technologies, utilizing basic Finnish raw materials, wood and paper. Woodnotes is the first company in the world to use paper yarn in a contemporary way in functional textiles. Ritva Puotila wanted to use paper yarn because of its properties – to make the most of its unique characteristics, not as a substitute for other materials.

The Woodnotes collection, which has expanded over the years from carpets made from paper yarn to a comprehensive concept, is augmented every year with new, relevant, and innovative products.

Woodnotes products are recognized around the globe for their elegant design and superior quality. The company currently exports 70% of its production to over 40 countries. Woodnotes products are sold at higher-end interior design and design retailers.

Woodnotes products have won numerous international awards.

Lo Studio for ROU Materiaal

ROU Materiaal is present at Fuori Salone 2023 with SEA GEOMETRY, a new collection inspired by the depths of the sea. The deep abysses of the hand-painted tapestries by ROU Materiaal dialogue with the new multifaceted tables: sculpture-tables that look to the future, for houses with a strong artistic connotation.

ROU Materiaal has created a series of works in which the sea and its continuous transformation of matter are evoked through the duo's original techniques.
Unique pieces of sculpture-tables, with a preponderant material presence, composed of various stratifications that evoke the modeling of sea water.
Each table-sculpture becomes primitive and contemporary material, raw and elegant, in search of a balance between past and present, in the constant process of creation and erosion of matter.

Unique pieces of tapestries that suggest the movements of water, the tides and its infinite and deep colours.

Unique pieces, strongly material pieces able to evoke a strong bond with nature, and to generate well-being in those who look at them or use them for their primitive strength.
