Made from cotton panama, this oven mitten features the Pieni Karhuemo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The oven mitten has a padded filling and a hanging loop. A bold and functional item that will add a touch of style to any kitchen. 

The Karhuemo (mother bear) pattern is based on a plant-themed sketch made by Aino-Maija Metsola for the Ruudut (squares) print created in collaboration between four designers for Marimekko’s spring collection for 2021, the year of the company’s 70th anniversary. Among the flowers and leaves in the original sketch, Aino-Maija added a bear with its cub. The ground is rumbling under the galloping mother bear, while the baby has reared on its hind legs to observe the land.
