Apollo rug, terra
Description
The Apollo rug is part of Finarte’s 40th anniversary collection, a series that celebrates the brand’s most beloved treasures and the unique stories behind them. Designed by Finarte’s founder, textile artist Eija Rasinmäki, the rug offers a delightful, modern reinterpretation of the traditional Finnish rag rug.
Handwoven from upcycled cotton, the Apollo rug was born at a time when there was a desire for calmer, more spacious patterns alongside the vivid, multicoloured rag rugs of the past. The harmonious yet distinctive motif makes the rug especially well-suited to larger spaces, where its character can truly shine. By the way: did you know that the rug’s first iteration, Aralia, was originally designed in 1985 — the very same year Finarte itself was founded.

Eija Rasinmäki (b. 1945) has left a distinctive mark on the everyday lives of Finnish homes for decades. The textile artist founded her first weaving mill in Loimaa in 1970, and over the years, her unique rag rugs and other rug designs have found their way into both Finnish department stores and international markets. She is also one of the co-founders of the rug brand Finarte and served as the company’s longtime head designer.
Rasinmäki’s work is defined by an uncompromising dedication to quality materials, Finnish craftsmanship and its traditions, as well as a strong drive to push rug design forward in bold new ways. Her life’s work has been widely recognised: she has been granted an artist’s pension, and she received the prestigious Pro Finlandia Medal in 2022.
