Tell us a little about yourself and your beautiful site.
I’m Mari, I’m from Finland and have been living in Italy almost for 4 years. I have been always interested in home decoration and beautiful scandinavian home interiors. Scandinavian design is one of my biggest passion. I started my own Iittala collection when I was quite young and brought all of them with me when I moved from Finland to Italy. It was quite a heavy suitcase :).
My dream has been always to have my own shop and as 1 year ago I had a good opportunity to proceed with my dream I opened Artic Design. I wanted to offer the beautiful products from Finland also to Italians as it is not easy to find thme here.

We also ship to other EU contries, USA, Canada, Japan so we basically shop almost worldwide. This year we will have many new scandinavian brands in our selection so we are not districted to selling only finnish design. It’s going to be a very exciting period and I can’t wait to share all the new products with all of you.
Our new “principal” is to offer only the top in each category. I do not want to confuse our clients with endless options- all they are offered is the best. In fact we are having our winter sales that will last until 28.2 as we are making room for new products.

Do you like to live in Italy?

I love Italy :). First of all the food is really good, I could not live without the “cucina italiana” and all the good wines, not to forget the gelato! There are so many beautiful places to see which are full of art and architecture. Italy is full of history, full of traditions and the people tend to be very friendly. Italy is also very diverse, in the winter you can go skiing in the mountains and in the summer you can enjoy the seaside and the lakes.


Favorite inspirational blog/site/shops?
When I have time I read many finnish blogs about design and home interiors as they are always very updated about what is happening in Finland and Scandinavia. Unfortunately I have not so much time to read all the nice blogs there is around. But I always take a round in Sweet as a Candy :-).
Emmas Design blog, Decor8, Design Sponge and Charlies Design Diary are also blogs that I follow when I can.
When I’m in Finland I buy a lot of finnish home interior magazines and when I’m in Helsinki I go around in the Design District that is full of beautiful and interesting shops and there you can also fine the most famous brands of finnish design.

Please give Artic Design a warm welcome by checking out their amazing website!
