From High Art to Hygge – a Scandinavian Throw Pillow Collection Brings

Nature Indoors

Pillow Décor Ltd. announced today that it has partnered with Kukamuka, to produce a new line of
Scandinavian-inspired throw pillows. Designed by Vienna-based artist Paivi Vahala and
Vancouver-based designer Petra Kaksonen, these unique graphic pillows are already catching the
eye of interior decorators and retailers.

Vancouver, Canada, January 16, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Pillow Decor Ltd. announced today that it has
partnered with Kukamuka, to produce a new line of Scandinavian-inspired throw pillows.

Collaborating remotely, Vienna-based artist Paivi Vahala and Vancouver-based designer Petra Kaksonen
are the creative force behind design studio, Kukamuka. The Finnish-born design duo has combined their
talents to create original print and surface patterns for architecture, home textiles, fashion, wallpaper and
products such as tableware. Kukamuka has partnered with Pillow Decor to manufacture their first line of
throw pillows.

Based on Paivi Vahala's original hand-painted artwork, the Kukamuka pillows are bold and minimalist.
“We really loved the clean simplicity of the designs that Paivi and Petra presented to us,” said Jonathan
Forgacs, co-owner at Pillow Decor. “The pillows have a distinctly Scandinavian aesthetic and we have
made them from a soft, durable felt fabric that is really in keeping with the Hygge design trend that
emphasizes comfort and practicality.”

Kukamuka has named their first pillow collection, Luonto, meaning Nature in Finnish. The collection is
inspired by the untamed wilderness and peacefulness of nature: treasures collected on beach walks, the
fog after the rain, the light of the autumn forest. “There are many parallels between Canada and
Scandinavia, especially our appreciation of nature and the change of seasons,” explains Petra Kaksonen.
"During the cooler and darker months, we naturally want to turn inwards, get cozy and comfortable in our
homes and create those special hygge-moments.”

The pillows in the Luonto collection are available in three sizes, four colours, and include five designs
(Lily, Kivi, Meri, Eka and Hay). The felt fabric feels luxurious and elegant, yet it's perfect for everyday
use - it's unfussy and easy to care for. “We wanted to create a collection that feels modern but is also
playful and fun; it's an invitation to mix and match different colours and sizes to give a personal touch to
any room,” comments Petra.
