CORE FEATURES

Striking onyx and ivory bring the drama of the wide-ocean journey of this Finnish fairytale to life on a bold accent pillow, adapted from Jay Van Everen’s 1922 woodblock illustrations. In The Enchanted Grouse, Helli the farmer spared a Grouse in the forest, fed it for three years, and was carried across the broad Ocean to visit three mysterious sisters in copper, silver, and golden castles.

One locked box, no key, and one modest Finnish farmhouse later becomes a castle in this age-old tale. The azure and ivory colorway captures the story’s sense of distance, wonder, and return.

Each pillow features a patterned front with a coordinating solid reverse for effortless mixing and layering throughout the Mikko Collection.

THE FAIRY TALE

Jay Van Everen created this woodblock abstract more than a hundred years ago to illustrate a Finnish fairy tale. We’re fairly sure he had no idea The Enchanted Grouse print would end up on a pillow. But here we are, and it suits.

The story follows Helli, a henpecked but kind husband and farmer. One day while hunting, Helli spares a Grouse’s life after it begs three times by saying, “Don’t shoot me, brother! Take me home alive.”

Three years of grouse-feeding (despite his wife’s complaints) and three precious feather gifts later (copper, then silver, then gold), the Grouse repays Helli with a journey across the Ocean and a visit to his three mysterious sisters, with the ultimate reward of a locked box with no key.

The Grouse’s instructions to Helli are simple: drop the box wherever you want to spend the rest of your life. The Grouse tempted Helli with mountains. Lakes. Fertile valleys. Helli said no each time. In fact, Helli didn’t drop the box until he and the Grouse touched down at his modest farm. When it cracked open, Helli’s farmhouse turned into a magnificent castle.

Bonus: Helli’s wife stopped scolding because, as the story puts it, when you’re happy you haven’t anything to scold about.

Each pillow features a patterned front with a coordinating solid reverse for effortless mixing and layering throughout the Mikko Collection.
