Pihlgren & Ritola

Pihlgren & Ritola was founded in 1930 by Fritjof Pihlgren and Matti Ritola. Today, the wallpaper factory is located in Akaa, Toijala, south of Tampere. All paper wallpapers are manufactured here from start to finish and can be considered a living cultural heritage.

Designers such as Birger Kaipiainen, Rut Bryk, Erik Bruun, Lisa Johansson-Pape, and Annikki and Ilmari Tapiovaara participated in a design competition in the 1950s to promote Finnish wallpaper export - many of their competition patterns are included in Pihlgren & Ritola's artist collection.

The wallpapers are printed using traditional techniques with glue colors. A large part of the work is done by hand.
