Who we are

 

Finarte is a Finnish family business and the leading design house for Finnish rugs. Since 1985, we have made rugs that reflect a careful balance of heritage and creativity, tradition and modernity, innovative design and sustainable materials.

We are committed to creating a world where home is a place for self-expression, a place where you can be uniquely you – sustainably.

Our story

 

Our history goes back to the eighties. It’s a story of a young designer and a businessman falling in love and setting up a business that by today has evolved into the second generation. We see Finarte as something else than just a company – besides it being our life’s work, it’s a lifestyle of creativity, exchanging ideas and preserving things we hold dear.

What we believe in

 

The best materials are the ones that already exist. To date, more than 60% of all our materials are recycled. And we’re not settling. We’re on a mission to raise this figure higher and higher.When it’s not recycled, it is natural and sustainably sourced. And always handmade.

Handwoven by a human

 

All Finarte rugs are handwoven by our skilled Indian artisans. We have been producing rugs in India for almost 30 years now. Our production partnership is based on a life-long relationship with real people and real communities. We visit our factories, old friends and their families at least twice a year, after we spent a sizeable chunk of our lives living in India.
