Design Jukka Jokinen & Heikki Konu
Ruu is a versatile piece that functions both as a vase and a candle holder. Its timeless form and refined craftsmanship make it a subtle yet striking element in any interior—perfect for everyday moments and special occasions alike.
Ruu reflects the Nordic ideal of multifunctionality and understated beauty. It brings a sense of calm and presence to the space it inhabits—whether holding fresh blooms or casting a warm glow with candlelight.

“For us, Ruu also means curiosity—a gentle invitation to look closer, to see more in less, and to find new ways of experiencing familiar things. Whether it’s holding a single wildflower or candle glowing softly in the evening light, Ruu invites you to pause, to wonder, and to reimagine the rituals of everyday life.”

DESIGN PROCESS
Sketching
The sketching is usually done by hand and is based on creative thinking and ideation. We like to consider many options and make a lot of drawings first and then narrow down the options to find the best idea concept.
3D modeling
We have excellent knowledge of the use of modeling programs and product drawings are created with the help of editable 3D models. In 3D modeling, the shapes and exact details of products, different components and materials can be precisely defined.
Image rendering
Before a product really exists, we can create rendered images by 3D modeling and rendering the product concept. This way the customer can see how the finished product would look before the first prototype is created.
3D Printing
We use our own 3D printer to create models of product concepts. This benefits the design work and can be used to show how the dimensions and other features of the product actually look like.
Production
Ruu candleholder and vase is handmade in Finland by skilled ceramist artisans. Its timeless form and refined craftsmanship make it a subtle yet striking element in any interior—perfect for everyday moments and special occasions alike.
