Columbus rug, blue
Description
The Columbus 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. The wool rug was among the very first designs created for Finarte by the company’s founder, textile artist Eija Rasinmäki. Named after a famous explorer, the rug quite literally began its journey in the air: its organic pattern was inspired by the view from an airplane window, where deep blue sea dotted with islands unfolded below.
The hand-tufted Columbus wool rug feels luxuriously warm and gentle underfoot. Its flowing, nature-inspired motif brings a sense of calm and poetic movement to any décor. The rug is a beautiful choice for living rooms, bedrooms, or any space that could benefit from inviting layers and a subtle touch of color.

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 recognized: she has been granted an artist’s pension, and she received the prestigious Pro Finlandia Medal in 2022.
