Overview
Vintage handmade wooden brooch by Aarikka, Finland, with an unusual light sculptural form.
The brooch is built from two curved wooden elements in different blue tones, with a small metal ball between them. The shape suggests a sail, a bird, a wave, or a small abstract figure in motion. It is playful, but still very clean and Nordic in feeling.
Design
The colour combination is especially attractive: deep navy blue on the lower curve, softer denim blue on the upper shape, and a darker patinated metal ball as a small central accent.
The visible wood grain gives the painted surface warmth and texture. Because the brooch is made from wood, it feels light on clothing despite its expressive shape.
