Vintage Rare Scandinavian Craft Geometric Trivets by Kaija Aarikka
By Kaija Aarikka
Located in Hyattsville, MD

Medium 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 in.
Small 5 3/8 x 5 3/8 in.

In the ensuing years the company has focused on creating unique decorative and household designs showcasing local Finnish materials - which entails quite a bit of birch wood. The wooden circles are echoed by the circular wire loops at the end of each row of rings. The construction allows it to be slightly flexible but quite sturdy, while the open loops allow air to circulate under the pot. The wires can be rotated. The Aarikka Finland...
