These weeks were supposed to be full of celebration. We were supposed to celebrate our 5th birthday first at Habitare exhibition in Helsinki and then at London Design Week, as our children’s furniture were released exactly five years ago at a design event for children. The opposite happened: Habitare was postponed until next year, due to the prevailing situation and the event in London was canceled.
In five years, we have experienced a lot. We have participated the Habitare exhibition four times. In addition we’ve been to Tokyo, Cologne, Paris, London and Copenhagen to showcase our furniture. Our largest international reseller, perhaps surprisingly, can be found from China.
On the other hand, five years is a very short time to build awareness. Even though we have been featured in Finnish interior design magazines, the main news paper, and a few times on TV shows we are still unknown to many. Surely the awareness is improving all the time, but it just takes time.
But we’ve come this far. And we are extremely happy about it. The products are exactly what we hoped for, when we started the company. The best feeling comes when positive feedback is given by both children and parents. That is when we feel we have succeeded well.
To celebrate, we are offering a 15% discount on our entire collection for five days, from Wednesday to Sunday (September 16-September 20, 2020). The offer is valid both online and at the store on Fredrikinkatu (Helsinki). Welcome shopping!
