Aarikka Finland | Blue Arrow Wooden Brooch

About the Piece
Vintage handcrafted wooden brooch by Aarikka, made in Finland.

The brooch has a geometric form, built from two long angled wooden elements with small round beads placed between them. The shape is sharp, light and dynamic, almost like a stylised arrow, a bird in flight or a small piece of abstract modernist sculpture.

The blue colour is not a flat plastic like blue: the stained wood still shows fine grain under the colour, giving the surface more depth and texture. 

Maker and Origin
Manufacturer: Aarikka
Country: Finland
Material: Painted and stained wood, metal pin
Production: Handcrafted

Form and Design
The design is strongly graphic. Two blue wooden lines move in the same direction, slightly separated, with the beads placed between them like small suspended accents. The brooch feels very 1970s in spirit, but still looks fresh with simple clothing.

It can be worn on a coat, wool jacket, linen dress, scarf or bag.

Dimensions
Length: 7 cm

Condition
Very good vintage condition. Light signs of age and previous use may be present, consistent with vintage wooden jewellery. 

Why It Stands Out
A bright and stylish Aarikka wooden brooch with a strong modernist shape. The blue stained wood, angled construction and small bead details give it a clear decorative character without making it heavy.

A good piece for collectors of Aarikka jewellery, Finnish wooden design, Scandinavian vintage accessories and bold natural material jewellery.
