Indeed! Our highlights from 2025 were the opportunity to collaborate with the writer and folklorist Juha Jyrkäs on the Rauni book. Western Finns got their own folk epic in August 2025.
We love Finnish folklore and mythology, so this is a really nice and important project for us.
Rauni is a Western Finnish folk epic. It has been collected, compiled and edited directly from the original Western Finnish folk poems.
In the frame story, the Rauni maiden and the Vauhtus witch meet on the Häme bull road. As a result, the reader is introduced to stories featuring magical animals, Klaus Kurki who burns his wife, Mataleena who meets a strange shepherd, Hyväneuvo who falls for manslaughter, and even the old man Väinämöinen himself.
So we got to make products from the Rauni book and that's how we started to design and implement a product series based on the cover of Rauni. Next, we get to explore the book from the inside and what thoughts and ideas emerge from it.
