RUNO is a stage for Finnish art, an exhibition open around the clock, where you can enjoy art in a warm and welcoming setting. The exhibition is curated by visual artist Fanny Tavastila.

DESIGN

CRAFT

We love small, soulful details: objects that carry their own story and meaning long before us. Our interiors feature many restored and repurposed pieces. From flea markets, we have sourced vintage Arabia ceramics, egg cups, shot glasses, and pitchers, beautiful everyday objects made to last. Small details with lasting meaning.
