Description
Our glasses are colorful everyday charmers and joy-bringers with their delicious colors and shapes. Colors speak to us in a big way, and playfulness is visible in our products.
We believe in the power of colors! We want to always keep an open mind to different things in life and boldly encourage people to realize their own interior design dreams, even one colorful glass at a time!
We manufacture our glass products mostly from recycled glass in our glass workshop in the Kustavi Craft Village. Using recycled glass means that we use fewer raw materials and energy compared to traditional production using new raw materials.
The nature of mouth-blown glass objects includes a varied and unique appearance, and small irregularities bring nuance to them. Varying shades and the number of spots, as well as air bubbles, are part of handmade glass, and they make the product unique.
Our company values strongly emphasize domestic handcrafting, which has guided our work for a long time. We’re located in Kustavi Craft Village, and although Paratiisipaja is its own independent company, we’re practically one and the same. Paratiisipaja’s founder Pia Metsävainio and her sister Essi Vuontisjärvi are the duo behind Kustavi Pottery and Craft Village. Kustavi Craft Village has a strong tradition of domestic ceramic production spanning nearly fifty years. A key value for us is supporting domestic craftsmanship. This is evident not only in our own production (glass, ceramics, candles, natural cosmetics) but also in the fact that for decades we’ve offered free sales spaces to aspiring craftspeople trying their wings.
