Heini's beloved RUUT designs parallel her ceramic works with the same hexagon forms she uses.
A whole life is woven into Ruut's patterns.
The images are a continuation through the years as her children grew. "I wanted Ruut to be cozy like a patchwork blanket, just like life is. I drew themes that are related to flowers and growth, to reflect the shared period of life between mother and daughter. I see the advancement of an important person similarly to a flower in bloom - and of course there are always the hidden parts that I can't ever truly know.
The RUUT pattern was chosen as Avotakka Interior Magazine’s ”Textile of the Year 2015”.
Lapuan Kankurit Ruut Tea Towel.
The Ruut tea towel features a mesmerising design by Finnish designer Heini Riitahuht. A pattern of contrasting hexagons and shapes knit together like a patchwork, creating a unique contemporary design.
Luxury washed linen and organic cotton is woven using a jacquard technique. The pattern is a mix of concentric circles, large chrysanthemum type flower heads and clusters of miniature daisies. This soft absorbent tea towel is a beautiful and practical addition to any kitchen, and is lovely enough to be used as a hand or guest towel in the bathroom.
