The story of Weiste begins in Christmas 1924 and has all the ingredients of a fairy tale – the spirit of Christmas, bringing joy to people, an entrepreneurial father and a chain of generations.
Kalle Weiste ran a paper shop in Helsinki in the 1920s. Once he bought Christmas tree top stars for sale from abroad. Decorations were scarce at the time, but people nevertheless wanted to have Christmas feeling at home. By Christmas Eve, all but one of the stars had been sold. Kalle got an idea and started making decorations in Finland.
Since then, we have brought joy to people who enjoy beautifying their home. We continue Kalle’s tradition and today we offer interior products for a cozy atmosphere all year round.
It all started with Christmas, but the fabulously warm atmosphere can be true at home whenever you want.
