Helsinki, FINLAND
THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

How can something so practical be so beautiful? Ross said the shape looks like a Japanese paper decoration. I think it looks like a Celtic knot. I have no idea of the history of the object but it does seem to be forever lasting, I mean, when carpet beating is truly out of fashion it is still an amazing thing to look at and enjoy. This design was first produced in the 1800's. While this object is not exclusive to Finland, the Finnish one is the most beautiful one we have yet to find. Produced by the Visually Disabled Persons Association of Helsinki.
