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 first and foremost to meet the need for sustainable preservation and to be part of enjoyable dining moments. To feel good in the hand and to transmit joy, comfort and strength to their owner - just like nature. To withstand the wild storms of everyday life, year after year. One generation at a time. Combine products with your existing range, collect individually or as a set. Use in the bathroom, interior or kitchen. Heat, freeze, store. Whatever feels good.

1971
We felt that we wanted to make ceramics in Finland.
It was the early 1970s. When the others moved out of Posio, Anu and Topi Pentikäinen had moved in. In the end, everything and nothing was found in the north. The true magic of Lapland. Anu was given space to think and be herself, the soul of an artist was born. Her reputation grew and the press glorified the self-taught beautie, who boldly lived her dream in the heartland of Lapland. All the pottery that could be made was sold. Anu Pentik's beloved ceramics and leather hobby, a way of life, began to bring bread to the table. Pottery turned to gold and dreams became reality.
2024
We still feel that we want to make ceramics in Finland.
To this day, Anu is the first to sneak into the ceramics factory, turn on the lights and rush to see how the previous day's work turned out. Not because she has to, but out of passion and fire. A way of life. In these uncertain times, we feel it is especially important to nurture domestic ceramic expertise and keep jobs in Finland. We want to make products that are of high quality, stand the test of time and pass on meaningful moments from one generation to the next. We believe that our ceramic products, made by many hands, transmit a piece of emotion to their users. From person to person.

The feel of northern 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. The journey from clay to finished dish involves 12 to 13 work steps, 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.
A feeling of everyday life.

It feels functional.
The collection is made up of different pieces that work well on their own or when combined. With the delicious colours of the Tuntu range, you can brighten up an existing tableware or put together a complete, feel-good tableware set. Thanks to their practical design, the products can also be used for durable everyday storage. Some of the plates can be used as lids on top of bowls, the dishes fit neatly inside each other and can be conveniently stacked.
Mix and match freely
Set up a dinner or brunch for friends and enjoy your own way. The Tuntu (Feel) tableware serie is perfect for a relaxed everyday life and a table setting that really doesn't need to be taken too seriously.
