Atelier Fauni

Atelier Fauni was a Finnish arts and crafts studio, operating from 1952–1971 in Finland.

The studio was best known for their Moomin figurines, which were produced from 1955 and are now collectors' items.

[2] Moomin merchandise has become popular collectors items, and Atelier Fauni's production belongs to the more valuable toys.

Atelier Fauni was re-established in the U.S. in the 1970s by Kuuskoski and her children under the name Troll Store.

Helena Kuuskoski died in Wilmington, North Carolina on September 1, 2013.
