Roots Living Designer Collection
.
Roots Living Designer Collection combines Finnish Design with Indian craftsmanship.
The Roots Living Designer Collection has been created in collaboration with Finnish designers Ulla Koskinen and Joanna Laajisto. The purpose of the cooperation is to bring out Finnish design combined with Indian craftsmanship and to raise awareness of environmental issues through design.
Ethics and social responsibility guide Roots Living. A natural follow-up to our work was to ask our designers to select a charity target for their work, which at the same time served as a source of inspiration for the design of the collection.



“I want to create products that will stand the test of time and become beloved life partners for their owners. This will, at best, allow the product to pass from one generation to the next.”
— JOANNA LAAJISTO


“Without the solid skill of
the weavers, the hand-drawn
line I draw could not be repeated
with such sensitivity.”
– ULLA KOSKINEN
