Finnish Design Shop introduces the Pelata collection, which is a series of open-ended wooden toys -- it was unveiled during Helsinki Design Week. These are produced in collaboration with various Nordic designers to mark the retailer's 20th anniversary milestone. The collection is designed for all age groups and it features alternative perspectives on classic games and other musical instruments.
The items are made from solid wood including ask and birch to name a few. The name of the capsule is the Finnish word for 'play.' The CEO shares, "For Finnish Design Shop, it was quite natural to celebrate our 20th anniversary with a collection of games, instruments and playthings. They all create happiness and call people to come together. It aligns so well with our mission to fill the world with Nordic happiness."
