Snufkin by Lovi is inspired by the wagabond of the Moomin stories. A naturally living philosopher does not want to own anything; a tent, a harmonica and the clothes he is wearing are enough. Owning anything would make life too complicated. He was created after the original illustrations by Tove Jansson, the beloved author and illustrator of Moomin stories.

Snufkin is Moomintroll‘s best friend. In the summertime, they spend time together adventuring, fishing and chatting, but in the fall, in November, Snufkin travels south, returning to Moomin Valley again on the first day of spring.

This little character from Moomin valley wears a forest green coat and presses a brimmed hat on his head, under which he looks at the world. The hat is decorated with a feather, said to have fallen from a condor eagle seen flying in the sky in the book Comet in the Moominland.

Are you the lucky one to have a Snufkin-like friend? With whom you can have the deepest conversations and with whom silence is not annoying, but meaningful.

Looking for an alternative to plastic from which to design something for her Christmas tree, founder Anne Paso designed the first version of Lovi in 2001. Today Lovi is a small family business making ecological and sustainable products in Northern Finland. True to the inventiveness and sauna mindset of Finnish culture, the first Lovi products were finished on the sauna benches where Anne & ; Mikko Paso lived.

Ecological and functional production and materials are the basis of Lovi's operations at their small factory close to nature in Jääli, Finland.

True to Anne's original intent, Lovi remains committed to the ethos of using eco-friendly, no plastic materials.
