What better way to see the world than through the eyes of our favorite tastemakers? In Hidden Trails, we look at the places that feel most like home to our community of design insiders — wherever those might be — to help you uncover what their cities have in store for you.
Instinctively, the very first thing that the fashion and homeware creations of Finnish circular design duo Juslin Maunula remind me of is the infinite color gradients of a burning sunset. Soft pinks turning into fiery reds, reds growing into hazy purples before giving way to the darkest of night skies. Founded in Helsinki by architect Lilli Maunula and fashion designer Laura Juslin, the rising studio has turned reinterpreting discarded textiles and surplus fabric stocks into a lifeline, each of their patchworky, textural pieces a wearable or decorative artwork rooted in functionality, fantasy, and in a responsible understanding of craftsmanship. Just like a sundial, their production is both marked by and a reflection of the passing of time.
