Since we first posted on designers Saana and Olli (of Sanna ja Olli), we've been curious about their cottage and working studio in Padasjoki, Finland. As it turns out, thanks to a sneak peak into Finnish magazine Deko's feature on their home, it's as infectiously charming as the couple themselves. The kitchen and dining room are full of design ideas to take away from so we've sourced the key elements (and hard-to-find light fixture) below.
For more on Saana and Olli's textile designs see our previous post, Hemp Textiles with a Nordic Edge.

The Kuksas are hand carved from Arctic birch burl and boiled in salt water for 12 hours (to treat the wood); each mug comes with a reindeer leather handle. Currently available through Nordic Art Store on Amazon for $29.99 each. We first wrote about the mugs during the holidays in 2011.
