My Comments: Annikki Karvinen’s Modern Factory, which incorporates workshops for weaving and sewing, is located in Central Finland. Respect for handwork can be seen everywhere, from the hand woven fabrics to careful manufacture, she has developed her own highly successful technique for turning hand-woven fabrics into clothes. The materials are light, durable and “lives” pleasantly in use
