I am Maarit Hirvaskoski, an artisan carpenter and a mother. I have sketched furniture designs for\nyears, sometimes on paper, sometimes on 3D model, sometimes just in my head. Nature and\nanimals are important to me, and I do not compromise on the ecological requirements that I place\non my products and the processes related to them.\nThe most important single factor, however, in creating a product is the visual design. I believe that\nvisually balanced, yet interesting and eye-catching visual look can be found, even if it sometimes\ntakes frustratingly long time. Only through patience one can reach the joy of finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maarit Maria came to being as a result of my persistent reflections on a table that could be easily\nassembled and taken apart to pieces again. Then, one day it dawned on me. I ran home, drew the\nbasic concept, built scalemodels - and the V-table was there. Finnish plywood was the obvious\nchoice for material, not least because of its beautiful looks. I preferred Finnish domestic\nproduction from early on, including packages. I wanted products made up of removable parts,\nallowing transports in as flat parcels as possible, and requiring no tools for assembly.\nThe V-table was soon accompanied by a larger K-table. My latest product is S-rack, in bent\nplywood. It is challenging to produce, but works well as a rack or as a small shelf. Or, just as an\neye-catcher. The S-rack is crafted semi manually in proud Finnish craftmanship heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am thankful to my close ones and to those brilliant colleagues and partners, who have helped\nme on this journey. Alone, I would not have made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olen Maarit Hirvaskoski, artesaanipuusepp\u00e4, lastentarhanopettaja ja kolmen lapsen \u00e4iti. Olen luonnostellut huonekaluja jo vuosia, milloin enemm\u00e4n, milloin v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n, milloin paperille, milloin vain p\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4ni. Luonto ja el\u00e4imet ovat aina olleet minulle t\u00e4rkeit\u00e4. Ekologisuus onkin tinkim\u00e4t\u00f6n osa suunnitteluani. Kaiken m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4 tekij\u00e4 on kuitenkin visuaalinen ilme. Ajattelen, ett\u00e4 visuaalisesti tasapainoinen ja samalla tarpeeksi mielenkiintoinen muoto on l\u00f6ydett\u00e4viss\u00e4, vaikka joskus siin\u00e4 voi menn\u00e4 tuskastuttavan kauan aikaa. Jos suostuu olemaan tarpeeksi k\u00e4rsiv\u00e4llinen, niin saavuttaa hetken jolloin l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 sen mit\u00e4 on etsinyt. Yritykseni l\u00e4hti liikkeelle, kun aloin pohtimaan huonekalua, joka olisi helppo koota ja purkaa.
