Vintage wooden brooch from the early 2000s, part of the Notte series by the Finnish design house Aarikka.
The piece features a stylized crescent moon face carved from light-toned wood, with minimalist detailing that reflects Aarikka’s signature Nordic aesthetic: playful, clean and tactile. The eye is marked with a small metal pin, while a round wooden bead forms the nose, giving the face a whimsical, almost storybook alike character.
As with many Aarikka designs, the brooch embraces natural materials and simple geometry, evoking both charm and modernity. “Notte” (Italian for Night) is a fitting name for this moonshaped figure, blending softness with clarity. A quietly expressive accessory, characteristic of Finnish design sensibilities at the turn of the millennium.
