Hemp bedding in House Hjemma — function, sustainability, and respect for materials

Asuntomessut is one of Finland’s most respected architecture and housing exhibitions. Since 1970, it has taken place annually in different cities, showcasing the best in residential design, interior innovation, and sustainable living. This is not just a fair — it’s a real-life neighborhood where each home is built, lived in, and experienced.

Every house featured is part of a real development, built with care and attention to lasting quality. That’s the Finnish way: no showpieces, just smart, beautiful, and livable design.

Talo Hjemma — the small brick house with big intention

Among this year’s participants is PAVE Arkkitehdit with their project Pieni Talo Tiilestä — “The Little House Made of Brick.” A home designed for everyday living with a strong focus on timeless materials, energy efficiency, and aesthetic clarity.

Built with brick, wood, and metal, it reflects a simple but solid approach to modern architecture: practical, light-filled, and human-centered.

Makuu: Bedding born on a boat — but made for all homes

Our Makuu hemp bedding is featured inside this house, seamlessly blending into its values and atmosphere. Made from 100% hemp, our textiles are naturally antibacterial, breathable, thermoregulating, and fully biodegradable. No coatings, no synthetics — just pure, functional beauty.

makuu™ was born at sea, inspired by the needs of living on a sailboat: limited space, changing weather, and the desire for clean, non-toxic materials. But very quickly, we realized that our bedding wasn’t only for boats — it fits perfectly into summer homes, cabins by the lake, off-grid houses, and conscious urban bedrooms.

Wherever people seek comfort, sustainability, and beauty — makuu™ belongs.

Why Finland?

Finland has some of the most conscious consumers in the world. People here value materials that last, manufacturers who take responsibility, and designs that improve daily life. Being part of Asuntomessut 2025 is an opportunity for us to engage with exactly those people — thoughtful, curious, and future-oriented.

Visiting the exhibition?

Asuntomessut 2025 takes place in Oulu from July to August. You can find Makuu hemp bedding in House Hjemma, designed with peace and well-being in mind.

And here’s a little gift: in the bedroom, you’ll find a coupon for a discount on your Makuu order.
