Woolly wonderland

The Ethiopian landscape with its mountains and peaks has given both its appearance and its name to Sera Helsinki's new Vuoristo rug – the word "vuoristo" is Finnish for mountains. The charming, minimalist wool rug is designed by Peeta Peltola and is part of Sera Helsinki's rug collection, created in collaboration with Finnish women designers. Like other Sera Helsinki rugs, the Vuoristo is also handcrafted in Ethiopia using local, hand-wound sheep wool, which is also spun into yarn by hand.
