This beautifully designed and lushly illustrated book is based on the Design Museum’s exhibition “Ryijky”. It explores the ways in which the specifically Finnish character of the ryijy has evolved. The chapters contain a great deal of information about ryijys as collectibles and about the relationship between the Finnish people and this particular form of shag rug textile. By far the most comprehensive book on ryijy, we have ever had.
