Pentik ceramics factory
50 years!

Products made in Posio

Pentik's ceramics factory, the northernmost in the world, was officially opened on 4 October 1974. That is 50 years ago! All the important things grow and improve in 50 years: love, joy of life, longing for beauty, craftsmanship. When the factory was founded, it was said that Anu and Topi Pentikäinen would show that modern large-scale production is possible in a small and remote municipality. Today, Pentik is the only major ceramics manufacturer in Finland and a significant employer in Posio. Half a century has taught us that clay can turn to gold and dreams come true. 

We feel it is our responsibility to make ceramics in Finland.

Ceramics craftsmanship. Since 1971.

The small municipality of Posio, near the Arctic Circle, has been home to Pentik for already half a century. Here, in the world's northernmost ceramics factory, clay is turned into something unique - a Finnish product made with love.

The quiet journey of the swans

Laulujoutsen
The calls of the swans carry far into the distance, blending with the wistful song of the freezing lake as they prepare for their migration. The Laulujoutsen (Whooper swan) print, designed by Minna Niskakangas, captures the large wings of Finland´s national bird, carrying it into the warmth of the south while we stay to enjoy the atmospheric darkness of the polar night.

Fabrics
Minna Niskakangas painted the Laulujoutsen pattern originally with ink on wet paper and the textiles are printed with a glittering pearlescent colour.

Inspired by nature. Made by northern people.

The Tuntu (Feel) ceramics series is full of northern feeling. A feeling conveyed by the people who made the products. A feeling that we are part of nature and a feeling that we want to pass on from generation to generation. Made in the middle of a northern forest, the products are designed to feel good in the hand and to transmit joy, comfort and strength to their owner - just like nature.

Feels like a lot of work?
The production of the products in the Tuntu series takes a total of 15 days from moulding to kiln firing and the product is handled by an average of 12 craftsmen during the manufacturing process. The Tuntu collection is special because of the vivid glazes that we mix ourselves, and the interesting colours and casts are achieved by glazing the products twice instead of once.
