Finnish Pattern Design Inspired by the Aurora

Irina Ylänne’s pattern shows a deep blue night sky lit by green, blue and violet northern lights above dark tree silhouettes. It brings the colours of the northern night sky into the bedroom and gives the bed a distinctive character.

The front of the duvet cover is printed, while the reverse is solid dark blue – so you can choose between the full colour of the aurora or a calmer, single-colour look. Both pillowcases carry the Northern Lights print on both sides.

Cotton Sateen and How It Is Made

The front of the duvet cover is made from Italian-origin 100% cotton sateen ELITE – the highest quality grade of the Italian fabric manufacturer. The pattern is digitally printed in Italy. The reverse is solid dark blue cotton sateen of German origin, also 300 TC. The set is sewn in Estonia.

What is cotton sateen? Sateen is a weave in which the yarn floats over longer stretches on the surface of the fabric. This gives cotton sateen its smooth surface and subtle sheen.

What does 300 TC mean? Thread count (TC) is the total number of warp and weft threads in one square inch of fabric. It describes how the fabric is built, but it is not a measure of quality on its own – the quality of the yarn and the weave matter too.

What does OEKO-TEX® Product Class I mean? OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification shows that a textile has been tested for harmful substances. Product Class I is the strictest class, with the same limit values used for baby and toddler products.

Who Is It For?

Choose this set if your duvet measures 200 × 210 cm and you use two 50 × 60 cm pillows. For a smaller duvet, the Northern Lights Duvet Cover Set comes with a 150 × 210 cm duvet cover and one pillowcase.

Northern Lights suits anyone who loves Nordic nature motifs and wants a bolder pattern in the bedroom, with the option of a quieter look when needed. Packed in a bag made from the same fabric, the set is ready to give as a gift – for a wedding, a housewarming or a birthday of someone who loves the aurora and Nordic design.
