Northern Aesthetics

Rugs that stand the test of time and wear.
From the village of Karvala, on the shore of Lake Lappajärvi.

We weave authenticity, humanity and Finnish nature into each rug we make.

Full of Life

Arto and Aila Viita-aho founded a rug factory in the small village of Karvala in 1973

Today, three of the five children in the Viita-aho family participate in the operations.

Humane values, innovation, honesty and the friendly Ostrobothnian attitude have been an important part of the factory’s activities from the first steps.

The employees of the Viita-aho rug factory are part of the family. The senior employees have been with us for more than 30 years.

Gentle northern aesthetics

We have partnered with the leading designers in Finland more than 30 years.

Our rugs combine timeless Scandinavian design with classic materials that stand the test of time and wear. Our rugs are made from natural fibres such as wool, cotton, paper yarn and sisal.

We have been weaving paper yarn rugs for over 30 years, and the yarn is also manufactured and dyed in our factories in Lappajärvi.

The materials can also be combined to get the best of both materials in the same rug.
