KARHU introduces the FUSION XC with Minestrone Workshop

For the launch of the KARHU AW25 Fusion XC Pack, KARHU has partnered with Helsinki-based design collective Minestrone Workshop.

Based in Helsinki’s northern Vallila district, this young collective has already created some of the most exciting projects to emerge from the Finnish capital.

With a focus on local timber and heavy craftsmanship, Minestrone’s rugged, hands-on approach makes the FUSION XC the perfect fit for their work.
