TOP 5: Goodbye to gloom – the most inspiring new products of the month

Autumn could use a splash of color to brighten the days, and this season, it’s your home decor’s time to shine –since the windblown trees aren’t exactly stepping up. Explore Finnish Design Shop’s October arrivals, where cheerful hues and bold designs are ready to sweep away even the darkest hints of winter blues.

Classic in new colors

These bold bursts of color are here to make a statement! Artemide's Nessino lamp is a smaller version of the iconic Nesso lamp, designed by Giancarlo Mattioli. Made from polycarbonate, Nessino embodies the lively, futuristic style of the 1960s with its eye-catching shape, reminiscent of nothing less than a mushroom – just in time for autumn.

Now available in three limited-edition colors, each vibrant hue enhances the lamp's distinctive silhouette. With only a small batch available, it’s the perfect moment to dive into this one-of-a-kind collection, so get ready to head out on your mushroom hunt!

The most plush comfort

The Jumbo lounge chair delights with its irresistibly plush presence, designed by interior architect and furniture designer Olof Ottelin. Fun fact: the chair’s gentle charm made it an instant favorite of Ottelin himself, too! It’s easy to see why: the reclining backrest and soft upholstery make the Jumbo chair ideal for all kinds of relaxing, lounging and enjoying the moment.

Embrace the season

Autumn brings a need for warmth, and Røros Tweed’s soft, cozy home textiles are just the answer. Made from 100% Norwegian sheep’s wool, these textiles embody natural comfort. The City throw, designed by Ingunn Birkeland, reflects her love for color – Birkeland, who has a background in fashion, is known for her mastery of bold and inventive combinations.

Back from the past

Yrjö Kukkapuro’s masterful Experiment chair, originally designed in 1982, is back in production after nearly 30 years. Swedish brand Hem, along with Professor Kukkapuro and his daughter Isa Kukkapuro-Enbom, have updated the postmodern chair to meet today’s standards in terms of proportions and materials.

Yet, the shape remains true to its love-it-or-hate-it ‘80s roots: like the original, the new Experiment chair features a chromed tubular frame and a wooden structure wrapped in padded upholstery, available in either leather or fabric.

The porcelain jar also makes a wonderful gift idea – hide a small, cherished item inside and let this elegant jar double as a decorative gift box!
