Bonden is a Finnish brand whose products are designed with ethics, sustainability and longevity in mind. The pillows and blankets in the range are made ecologically, reviving Nordic craftsmanship. Pleasant materials and soft tones add a natural atmosphere and beautiful details to the home. The products also utilize the special properties of nature's own raw materials, such as breathability and dirt repellency.
Bonden's interior design products are united by the peaceful luxury of the North, which for Nordics often means inspiring communion with nature and a sense of relaxation. The special feature of each Bonden product is its texture and design, which imitates the organic and imperfect nature. If nature were perfect, it might not be as beautiful. Forest mosses, roots and stones activate our senses and help us relax in the same way that Bonden's core idea is to bring imperfection and harmony into the home through textiles.
The brand name comes from the Finnish Bonden Paavo (Paavo the farmer of Saarijärvi). He was a determined peasant farmer who survived three bad harvest years by utilizing surplus flour and continuing it with pine bark. Bonden products also use natural materials in new and creative ways - just like Bonden Paavo did - in the spirit of Nordic design.
The designer behind the versatile interior textiles and home accessories is Kati Hienonen. Kati's design philosophy has been featured in several international magazines, such as Elle Decoration Country, Sköna hem, Deko and Gloria Home.
