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.

We feel that we want to live far north.
We feel that we want to live far north.
We Northerners value our own peace, space to breathe and the possibility to be quiet when we want to be. The peace and the deep silence of nature. Surprising nature, to whose rhythm you have to adapt.
We strongly believe that meaning in life comes from a deep connection with nature, the space to do things your way, and working hard for your dreams. From these, and Anu Pentik's passion for art, a company called Pentik was born, for which coincidence chose northern Posio as the location more than 50 years ago. The north is still our home, as it is home to our ceramics factory and much more. Because we feel that this is how it should be. Now and in the future.
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.

With stunning colours and interesting glazes, the products in the series capture the changing seasons of the North and the colour spectrum of nature. The versatility of the range makes it suitable for all types of homes.

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.
