The Most Beautiful of the Lakeside Plants. When the autumn sea breeze whips rain onto your face, the reeds on the shore bend over, just like us humans. From amidst the icy crust, delicate spikelets stretched out, inspiring designer Minna Niskakangas to pick up her brush. Ink spreading on wet paper created a frosted look for the reeds. The Ruoko collection includes home textiles such as cushion covers, table runners, throws, and bedding.
