"Artek and Juslin Maunula come together to celebrate sustainable aesthetics and appreciation for materials. Once grown or produced, raw materials are valuable as such, and using them as widely as possible paves the way for more sustainable design. Artek's new products explore raw materials through a new visual standard of wood quality, use of recycled material and innovation. Juslin Maunula collection is created from high quality discarded textile from the past decades, giving a whole new life to the once forgotten material."

A sneak peek of the SS 17 collection was presented in May 2016. A room was filled with floating pink bubble wrap, held in the air by pink balloons. The slow movement of the floating bubble wrap and the models hiding behind the plastic curtains, gave an intense and dreamy atmosphere to the presentation.

Changing Rooms is an installation presenting the compact, light weight and stackable Atelier Chair in three different settings: a restaurant, a concert hall and a co-working space. The installation is made of environmentally friendly and recycled materials, corru- cated cardboard and recycled felt.

Juslin Maunula designed a ollection of six Wool Rugs for the Finnish design brand Finarte. For the rugs, Juslin Maunula got the inspiration for composing color areas and shapes from the work of color theorist Josef Albers. The rugs are responsibly handwoven in India from only natural materials and are traceable to the raw material.

The aim was to create a texture
that would give some movement to the rugs, which are static elements by nature. We had developed a way of cutting the soft, tufted material to a shape that resembled pleated
fabrics in fashion or fluting in architecture. The pleated surface creates a play of light and shadow,
evoking the feeling of movement.

The Alluring jewelry designed for Kalevala Jewelry was inspired by basic shapes and their mirror images. The starting point for the design of Alluring jewelry has been insightful design, playfulness and combinability. The Vetovoima jewelry series shows the modular structure emanating from the architecture and the puzzle-like combinability of the parts.
