Our brand Käinby1925 sparked off back in 2007 when my family found a new home in a former school building in the city of Vantaa in Finland. Renovating the old rugged school, located in the Keimola district (Käinby in Swedish) and formerly used by Swedish-speaking pupils and teachers, became a dream project for our family of six. Since the dimensions in the building were somewhat exceptional for a home, it was difficult to find suitable furniture. One day, I finally decided to roll up my sleeves and craft us a living room table. And that’s how Käinby1925 got started. I produce all Käinby1925 items with my own two hands in our home in Keimola. In all pieces I craft, I strive to include genuinely old elements. By respecting and working old material, the pieces retain a genuine feel to them while also telling their new owners a story.

Two designers, two sisters, two creative minds Ms. Hammi Miettinen and Ms. Maikku Miettinen working together in Lohja in Finland. Our specific lines of interests are in innovations, fashion trends as well as new phenomena. We have always inspired by the new and different, and coming up with unique ideas which do not exist yet. We hate copies.
For us designing is, at its best, like a deep breath, when you comprehend something new or solve a problem. These skills we had a chance to develop with many products and styles for Lustwear, our own designer collection we had. The whole production process from the idea to the finished product with the labels and packaging are very familiar to us. Likewise we are experienced with the sales process at the international fairs in Paris, Tokyo, Düsseldorf and Copenhagen.
