KNOWN FOR ITS RIGOROUS STANDARDS, THE FINNISH COMPANY WOODNOTES DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES PRODUCTS AND CONCEPTS  INSPIRED BY PAPER YARN FOR HOMES AND PUBLIC SPACES.

Woodnotes is a Finnish design company founded in 1987 by textile designer Ritva Puotila and her son Mikko Puotila. The company is still owned by its founders.

The original concept behind Woodnotes products was to combine artistic creativity inspired by Finland’s rugged nature with advanced technologies to shape of Finnish raw materials: wood and paper.  Woodnotes is the first company in the world to use paper yarn in a contemporary way in functional textiles. Ritva Puotila wanted to use paper yarn because of its properties – to make the most of its unique characteristics, not as a substitute for other materials.

The Woodnotes collection, which has expanded over the years from carpets made from paper yarn to a comprehensive concept, is augmented every year with new, relevant, and innovative products.
