Aarikka Finland | Wooden Brooch “Crescent Balance”
Overview
Vintage wooden brooch by Aarikka, Finland. The design is built around a layered crescent form intersected by a slender horizontal bar, creating a quiet sense of tension and balance. The composition recalls late modernist and Art Deco geometry, reduced to warm tactile materials.
Design & Materials
Crafted from painted wood, the brooch combines deep olive green with muted red tones. The curved inner segment is framed by a broader arc, while the elongated top element cuts across the form like a counterweight. The result is graphic yet restrained, with emphasis on proportion rather than ornament.
