Finnish design rugs since 1985
Finnish design rugs and home textiles that celebrate bold thinking, handicraft and the joy of being who you are.
Finarte
Finarte is a Finnish family business and the leading design house for Finnish rugs. It was founded in 1985 by a couple: designer Eija Rasinmäki, a pioneer of the Finnish rag rug, and businessman Erkki Immonen.
Now in its second generation, Finarte makes rugs that balance heritage and creativity, tradition and modernity, innovative design and sustainable materials, for a world where home is a place for self-expression: where you can be uniquely you, sustainably.

After finding real synergies and values in common — honest materials, skilled handcraft and design made to last — Mansa Furniture has partnered with Finarte in Latin America.
Finarte's rugs and home textiles are now available through Mansa, with the same advice, delivery and care that come with every Mansa piece.
Chapter 01
Finarte's design language is ever-changing: there are no archetypal patterns, only value-driven guidelines. Led by head of design Marianne Huotari, the studio looks through Eija's archives for inspiration and invites designers and collaborators to work with it, without restricting their creativity.
One thread runs through it all: colour, to enable self-expression and bring joy and well-being to everyday life.
Chapter 02
Every Finarte rug is handmade by skilled artisans in India, where Finarte has worked with the same manufacturer since the beginning, for almost four decades.
It is a lifelong relationship with real people and real communities: the founders lived in India for years, and the team still visits its partners and their families at least twice a year.
Chapter 03
It began with the rag rug: Eija Rasinmäki reinvented it with upcycled and recycled materials, weaving stripes and multi-coloured patterns no designer would have made from new ones. Today all the cotton in Finarte's collection is recycled or upcycled: a third of its designs are rugs made mainly from recycled cotton, and its tufted wool rugs are backed with recycled cotton.
Its other main fibres are wool and jute — both natural, and always worked by hand.
01
Seeking joy and spreading it, with a belief in optimism: that we are all capable of positively influencing each other and our planet.
02
The courage to stay true to itself: to remain honest and to follow its calling.
03
Caring for the things around it, in every part of its work: the materials, the people and the craft tradition.
