The surface shifts between warm brown, chestnut, burnt cinnamon and almost smoky black tones depending on the light. Every piece carries slight variations created during firing, giving the series its distinctive organic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture and colouring recall traditional Japanese ceramics and the calm material focused approach that strongly influenced Nordic design during the period. Ruska takes its name from the Finnish word for autumn foliage, and the series carries that same muted warmth associated with northern autumn landscapes and long evenings indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArabia\u003cbr\u003eFinland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuska\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUlla Procopé\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePeriod\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1960s to 1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoneware ceramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCylindrical coffee cup with balanced proportions and a slightly flared rim paired with a wide saucer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuska was designed for everyday use while maintaining a strong visual identity.
