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.

The soft whisper of pines and spruces, the moss beneath my toes; it’s the wonder of the forest, always the same yet always changing. The deep forest green color brings my thoughts to a fairy-tale world. These cables will always carry me to my happy place, that place of wonder where every twist brings me joy.

This cardigan is worked in one piece from the top down with minimal shaping. The cables make this a classic addition to your wardrobe, warm and lovely to wear from season to season.
