The Still And Silent collection was created while reminiscing the easiness I felt on my 2021 autumn holiday, spent with my husband and two cats in the Finnish countryside.
Picture a small, cabin-like house by a lake. Quietness and yet all the sounds that the lake, wind and dry leaves in the wind make. No news, no phones, no social media, no thinking about what all needs to be done. Only thinking about when we should make fire in the fireplace, is it too late for another coffee, do the cats want to have a walk outside, do we want to go out or should we just watch the lake from the window and read until the evening comes. Being still and silent.
