GENUINE – Handmade Beauty from the North book pays tribute to Finnish artisanal heritage and a beauty that is both meaningful and worth preserving. The visually stunning publication showcases artefacts from the past alongside contemporary artists and artisans – modern-day masters – who draw inspiration from this rich Nordic heritage. Photographer Riitta Sourander has a career spanning more than twenty years specialising in interior photography, both in her native Finland and internationally. The book delves into the roots of Finnish design and reveals the wealth of creativity that continues to spring from them today.
