CASE: THE NOORMARKKU IRONWORKS

Ruukki in Noormarkku offers a great setting for a summer day out. Khe area is of great cultural and historical value and offers a wide range of refreshing activities. Ruukki's saunas invite you to relax and the Noormarkunjoki river invites you to swim. Attractions include Villa Mairea, the Ahlström Voyage exhibition and the Sawmill Museum.

NLUX Studio's lifestyle shoots captured the services offered by Ruukki during a two-day shooting session. The models used were a target couple and a single traveller who will experience the exceptional ambience and peace of Ruukki.

Over a period of more than 60 years and three generations, the Ahlström family built three important family residences in the pottery area, Isotalo, Havulinna and Villa Mairea, as well as many other notable buildings, such as the Head Office, the Club, workers' housing and officers' villas. 

Together, these buildings form a very impressive and interesting ensemble. The Noormarkku foundry is still owned by the Ahlström family.

The most internationally famous of the buildings in the Ruuk area is Villa Mairea, completed in autumn 1939, shortly before the start of the Winter War, as the representative home of Maire and Harry Gullichsen. The progressive and open-minded couple were interested in the pure expression of modernism. The building was designed by Maire and Harry's friends Alvar and Aino Aalto, who found in Mairee an opportunity for free and experimental design. 

From the beginning, Villa Mairea played many roles: it was the home of a family with children, the home of Maire's art collection, and the home where Maire and Harry Gullichsen's friends could enjoy the hospitality of the host couple. Over the years, the house has hosted many parties and has welcomed a wide range of top professionals, from musicians to artists, from home and abroad.
