Today a post some pics of  the  beautiful Fiskars village Finland, well known because of the Fiskars factory , producing  scissors, knives and tools  (which are very popular in the country) and because of its peculiar population making the village one of the  most important centers of handicraft, art and design in Finland. And so it is that more than 100 creative professionals are permanent residents of the village that counts with an active   Cooperative of Artisans, Designers and Artists in Fiskars , Onoma, offering high-quality exhibitions in the village, presenting crafts, design and art all through the year. And there I was in Easter holiday, enjoying the place and the unique atmosphere.

My plan was perfect: Nice lunch at  restaurant Kuparipaja placed  in an old copper smithy,  visit in the same building to the wonderful exhibition “Finnish and Swedish Design and Art” and to the Kopper design shop full of finish and Fiskars designs : among others  from  Artek and  Fatboy

Then I visited Onoma Shop, placed at the beautiful  Clock Tower Building offering a good selection of the products manufactured by the members of the Cooperative: glass  Camilla Moberg, wood  Kari Virtanen, Markku Kosonen, Tuulia Penttilä, ceramic Karin Widnas, Nanna Bayer, clothing Sakata Rutsuko,  among others.
