About Treacle George (Muurla & Havi)

I'm Laurence from TREACLE GEORGE and I'm proud to be the exclusive UK distributor for two celebrated Finnish brands: Muurla Design and Havi Oy. MUURLA - A Functional Design House Muurla’s story began in the small Finnish town of Muurla, where it initially focused on creating mouth-blown glass. Over the years, Muurla has transformed into a modern design house, blending Finnish design with everyday functionality. Its collections reflect a dedication to quality and practicality, crafted to enhance both the special occasions and simple moments of daily life. HAVI Oy – Finnish Heritage in Home Essentials Originally founded in 1829, Havi Oy is a family-owned Finnish company that creates premium products for the kitchen, table, and home. With two factories in Finland, Havi is renowned for producing high-quality paper napkins and 100% stearin candles, ensuring craftsmanship and quality that span generations. A little bit about me: I’m an old 'travelling salesman' (in the nicest sense - not the double-glazing type) with three decades of experience representing designer homewares brands from Europe, supplying the best retail shops around the UK. Away from work, I’m an enthusiastic hobby cook. The results are mixed but I'm very happy trying to create something 'tasty' in the kitchen for Alison (my better half) to have to be polite about! 😃 Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions or queries you have 👍 Laurence from Treacle George.
