Buy Finnish Products Day 1.12.2017 - Salli Team is proud of Finnish products!

It will be easy for the Salli Team to act accordingly on Buy Finnish Products Day 1.12.2017, because so many lists Finnish products as their favourites. Here Hanna and Netta tell about their relationships with Finnish design and products.

Marketing Manager Hanna Ojutkangas:

The one Finnish product that really appeals to me is Fazer's Blue Chocolate - its flavor just cannot be beaten. I appreciate the Finnish high-quality work. For this reason, just a year ago, when we were buying a new sailing boat, we acquired a Finnish Maestro sailing boat. The whole family has been very pleased with its high quality and durability. We have done some repairs to it with our own hands, so the tradition of Finnish handwork continues.

My own Salli favourite is definitely SwingFit, with Salli Base against which I can rub my feet while sitting. Massage option is a great addition to providing health and well-being during work, and the swing mechanism enables more active sitting.

For this Christmas I would like to give both my children Salli SwingFits, in the colours they prefer. Children grow fast, and the width adjustment mechanism allows the chair to be adjusted accordingly. In addition, sitting will increase as there will be more and more homework from school. That is why it is important to have good ergonomics at home and increase movement and activity when sitting.

Swinging towards Christmas! Netta's wish list includes Finnish jewelry.

Expo Manager Netta Kettunen:

I like to favour Finnish products whenever I can. A lot of great design, both in clothing, jewelry and interior design comes from Finland. I like Finnish design for its clarity and simplicity, without forgetting its usability.

I wear a lot of jewelry and I especially like the products of Lumoava and Kalevala Jewelry, and follow actively the development in this sector. I also like to favour local entrepreneurs and handwork, and for example, my engagement ring is handmade in my home town Kuopio. At the moment my wish includes Tiima pendant by Lumoava, it appeals to me with its simple elegance.

The Sarpaneva pot we acquired last year is also in active us because of its elegant appearance and good qualities. 

My favorite Sall product is Salli SwingFit Saddle Chair that brings movement to the workday by adapting to my movements. My ergonomics and well-being have improved significantly since I started working at Salli and, for example, the earlier weekly headaches have almost completely disappeared.

I could certainly think of many people who would benefit from better ergonomics at work and at home. But I would buy a chair for my spouse to take to work because they do not have the opportunity to get new chairs from the employer without a serious medical reason. The model would be my own favorite SwingFit in some vibrant color, such as red or green.

Will Santa bring a red SwingFit to Netta's loved one this Christmas? Hanna's favourite is also SwingFit but with Salli Base that enables a relaxing reflexological foot massage.
