Interpretations Vol. 7 is here! This 7th volume of the truly heartfelt collaboration between Joji Locatelli and Veera Välimäki includes six themes, six words with two designs inspired by each word, showing a personal take on each of these themes.

The year 2020 added a layer of different circumstances to the book. The photographs were taken on the same day, but on opposite corners of the world; Joji’s in Argentina by Charly Barros and Veera’s in Finland by Jonna Jolkin.

Something so unknown, something so familiar; that’s what makes the wild so intriguing, so tempting. There’s something to relate to, there’s something new to enjoy, and we are never quite sure of the outcome.

This sweater is the epitome of wild: we see the raglan shaping we are so used to, yet it’s not quite the same. Worked in pieces with plenty of positive ease, this sweater takes us to our wild side and lets us play with color.
