are simple, joyful, and
functional, in the best
traditions of minimalistic
Scandinavian design. What
distinguishes them among
other high quality Scandinavian
interior products
is the touch of authentic
ancient handicraft culture
of countries like Bolivia,
South Africa, India and
Cambodia. Each design is
adjusted to the techniques
of the artisans in the areas
where these items are produced,
and all products are
handmade, making them
truly unique. Outi works
in collaboration with such
renowned designers as Anu
Penttinen, Susanna Vento,
Maija Louekari, Saana ja
Olli, Heath Nash, Haldane
Martin, and Reetta Ahola,
and carefully picks and finetunes
each product design
herself. The creation of
a new collection is a long
process. A product starts
out from a Nordic-inspired
design, goes through several
changes and adjustments
to fit the techniques of the
craftsmen, and finishes as a
beautiful and ecologically
sustainable product, made
with joy and love.
Mum’s not only aims
to improve the lives of
people in distant locations,
but also serves the Finnish
community by organizing
happenings and local charity
events. Since 2011, in
cooperation with other designers
and NGOs, Mum’s
has been organizing the
Flowerdrops project - an
art event, which promotes
ecological sustainability and
donates all the profits to
charity.
Mum’s was born in 2006 while Outi and her family went to
Africa. These children are happy to go to school. And their
parents are even happier to be able to provide them the possibility
to go to school and learn things. Most of MUM’s
handicrafters cannot read or write, because they did not
have a chance to go to school as kids.
