Our names are Anné and Sirpa and we are the founders of Cloudberry Living. Sirpa grew up in Helsinki in a home full of Scandinavian design icons such as Iittala glassware and Brio toys. Her passion for the style is deeply engrained and derives from her childhood memories of happy mealtimes and fresh, warm and stylish home. Meanwhile Anné was born and brought up in the middle of nowhere in freezing temperatures by the Russian border. Consequently, she grew up learning to respect the nature, its sustainability, shapes and the natural materials it provides. These aspects are all reflected in Scandinavian design. For example, the fluid shapes of the Aalto Vase are said to derive from the Finnish landscape and its lakes.
Now we both live permanently in the UK. We have very different backgrounds but we share Finnish roots, careers in marketing and a love for Scandinavian style. This was a great foundation to start Cloudberry Living to offer the products that we so much love to the UK market.
Our focus is to offer our customers high quality products which are a part of our unique Scandinavian design heritage. Many of our products are international design icons, but can be hard to track down outside Scandinavia. We also stock new interesting products that are still fairly unknown but created from a respect for the Scandinavian tradition.
