Woodnotes is a Finnish design company founded by Ritva and Mikko Puotila in 1987. The original idea behind Woodnotes products is to combine artistic creativity inspired by the rigours of Finnish nature with advanced technological solutions to utilizing the basic Finnish raw mate-rials, wood and paper.
Woodnotes offers an aesthetic total concept which can be applied to various functions and interiors. The company produces a large collec-tion of spun paper yarn carpets and a wide range of other spun paper yarn products such as blinds and panels, place mats and table runners, bags and home accessories, pieces of furniture, cushions and upholstery fabrics and a studio collection of hand-woven articles. The products are made in Finland respecting ecological and ethic values.
The pure and simple design of the company’s spun paper yarn prod-ucts provides an aesthetic character of every day beauty, simplicity, harmony, and the poetic spirit that are expressed in clear forms. They reflect Finnish characteristics and provide a counterbal-ance to the hectic modern world. The spun pa-per yarn is made from wood which is a genuinely natural, durable material containing the picture of the past preserved memory. The company name, Woodnotes, com-bines the durable characteristics of wood with lighter, artistic notes.
Woodnotes products are known for their pure design and high quality all over the world. Woodnotes currently exports 70 % of its output to about 40 countries. Its products are sold through the world’s leading interior and designs shops and showrooms.
Woodnotes products have been awarded several international recognitions, such as Good Design Award (Japan), interior innovation award IMM Cologne (Germany), reddot design award (Germany), Editors Award ICFF (USA) and design&decoration award (Great Britain). The carpets also feature in the design and architecture collec-tion of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
