Aarikka Finland | “Violet arrow” large wooden brooch

Overview

Large vintage geometric brooch by Aarikka, Finland, made by hand from painted wood.

The brooch has a sharp triangular form, almost like an abstract arrow or a small piece of wearable modernist sculpture. Its size gives it clear presence on clothing, while the flat wooden construction keeps it light and easy to wear.

Design

The colour is a soft violet purple with a slightly matte surface. Fine visible wood grain and small natural surface marks give the brooch a warm handmade character.

The form is simple but expressive: one strong triangle, clean edges, and a graphic silhouette. It works especially well on a coat, wool jacket, linen dress, black knitwear or a simple white shirt.
