Colours natural and midnight blue. Kivet is designed by Matti Pikkujämsä, a Finnish illustrator and artist. Originally Kivet was launched at Matti's and Jenni Rope's exhibition BLUE in Japan. Mum's employes artisans living in rural village in Northern India. Artisans work from home, save travel cost to work and may take care of their families. Materials are local, highest quality natural or recycled.

All Mum's rugs made based on order. 

Mum's employs artisans living in rural villages in Northern India, South Africa and Bolivia. We buy each and every product and agree a fair payment in collaboration with the village leader. Materials are always highest quality and local, either natural or recycled carefully chosen by thThe truth is our artisans cannot read or write, as they have never had a chance to go to school. Working for Mum's, and receiving regular income they may pay for their kids school. It is one of the things we are most proud of. 

Lead time during covid is about 4-5 months.  We are so sorry to keep you waiting! Rugs are made in time, but freight takes time.

*** Kivet on esitelty ensi kerran Japanissa seinävaatteena Matin ja Jenni Ropen yhteisnäyttelyssä. Maton muoto on neliö ja voimme valmistaa mattoa mihin tahansa toivekokoon. Mum'sin matot valmistetaan vastuullisesti ja tilauksesta.  

 

MUM's

Mum's was born in South Africa in 2006, when Finnish Outi, an artist, and mum herself, collaborated with 15 African women. They made sculptures for an exhibition in Finland, all weaved by hand, designed by Outi, empowering women who worked from home. All women were mothers, so the project was named MUM's.

Later, it became the name for a sustainable brand "Mum's Good with Goods". Over the years a tiny art project has slightly developed into a sustainable design company, combining designers with sustainable production. Mum's has got production in four developing countries India, South Africa, Cambodia, and Bolivia. Everything is handmade as far as possible, people work from home, and save travel costs to operate. Materials are local either natural or recycled, and each Mum's product is signed by the artisan who made it.

Mum’s carpets are made to order only. We manufacture all our carpets according to your wishes. The size selections available on the website are examples of the most demanded sizes based on the typical Scandinavian living room sizes. We hope they are useful when choosing the correct carpet size for your needs. Unfortunately, we cannot provide return or refund options for the made-to-order products.
