From Helsinki with love

Hello, I think I'm in love. Ummm, I'm talking the pieces you see below - Vintage linens found and re-worked by Helsinki-based designer Elizabeth Salonen of Mottoform. Elizabeth scours vintage shops, antique stores and summertime outdoor fleamarkets in Helsinki and, when she's back in Canada, any pieces she can score here too. She then hand-prints each one-of-a-kind piece with designs inspired by hundreds of photographs of Art Nouveau architecture snapped around Helsinki and from research into the archives of the Finnish Architectural Museum. The collection, called Helsinki Remade, is available only through Design Forum Finland, though Elizabeth is currently looking into a few stores and online retailers too (fingers crossed for a Canadian retailer!). Lovely, no?
