Lapuan Kankurit is a small family run Finnish design house dealing in high quality textiles and contemporary, modern design from their own mill situated in Lapua, Finland. By keeping their production, from design to weaving the finished products, in their own hands creates some of the finest Scandinavian design textiles to come out of Finland. With sustainability and craftsmanship at their core.

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”.
