Bonden - ethical interior design choices
Bonden is a Finnish brand whose products are designed with ethics, sustainability and longevity in mind. The pillows and blankets in the selection are made ecologically, reviving Nordic craftsmanship. Pleasant materials and soft tones add a natural atmosphere and beautiful details to the home. The products have also utilized the special properties of nature's own raw materials, such as breathability and dirt resistance.
Bonden's interior design products are combined with the calm luxury of the north, which for the Nordics often means inspiring togetherness with nature and a feeling of relaxation. The special feature of every 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 as Bonden's core idea is to bring home imperfection and harmony through textiles.
The name of the brand comes from the Finnish Bonden Paavo (Saarijärvi farmer Paavo). He was a determined peasant farmer who survived three years of bad harvests by utilizing the surplus flour and continuing it with pine bark. Natural materials are also used in Bonden's products in a new and creative way - as Bonden Paavo did - in the spirit of Nordic design.
