Alan Lishness, one of contributors of Nordic Design photo pool on flickr posted recently this nice history article about Fiskars company, simply must read:
“My friend, Petri , and I shot in the small town of Fiskars, Finland, located aproximately 100 Km from Helsinki. The cutlery company bearing its name was incorporated in 1649 by a Dutch merchant who had been granted a charter to establish a blast furnace and forge there. Today, Fiskars (the company) is widely regarded for the contemporary quality of its tools, and Fiskars (the community) is a thriving premium arts and crafts center. ‘Fiskars Fire Station‘ on black”
