artist biography
Ida Helmi Tuulikki Pietilä was a Finnish artist, graphic artist and teacher born in Seattle, Washington, on 18th February 1917.

Pietilä began her studies at the Turku drawing school, which she attended from 1933 to 1936, followed by study at the drawing school of the Finnish art association from 1936 to 1940, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm between 1945 and 1949 and the Fernand Léger Art Academy in Paris from 1949 to 1953. During her studies, she met her partner Tove Jansson. They collaborated on many works and projects, including the Moomin works, in collaboration with Pentti Eistola. These are now exhibited at the Moomin museum in Tampere. Pietilä inspired the energetic figure Tooticky in Jansson's Moomin books. Pietilä's brother was architect Reima Pietilä.

Jansson's and Pietilä's travels and summers spent together on the Klovharu island in Pellinki have been captured on several hours of film, shot by Pietilä. Several documentaries have been made of this footage, the latest being ‘Haru, yksinäinen saari’ (Haru, the lonely island) (1998) and ‘Tove ja Tooti Euroopassa’ (Tove and Tooti in Europe) (2004).

Pietilä's debut exhibition was in Turku, Finland in 1935. Throughout her career she exhibited extensively in Finland and overseas. She was awarded the Pro Finlandia medal in 1963 and was an honourary member of Finnish Printmakers Association. Pietilä was one of the most influential people in Finnish graphic arts. She worked as a teacher in the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, for many years, and later trained graphic artists and wrote instructional books about graphic arts.

Pietilä passed away in Helsinki at her home on 23 February 2009, aged 92.

A nice valet tray, smaller in size, but with thicker walls / better made than others I've tried
Color: Black
First off, I think the sizing is a bit wrong on this listing. I've used a couple other valet trays of this style, but different brands, and this is my favorite of the there, as well as being the best quality of the bunch. For PU Leather, it's feels good and closer to real leather than usual. Also compared previous similarly styled trays, the sidewalls are thicker than what I was expecting, and the snaps feel tight and of a higher quality. These ship flat / snap up styled trays will never be as good as the stitched one that you aren't able to flatted, but for $14 it feels like a good value for the quality, and compared the others I've tried from different companies, it is a little smalled, but sincerely feels better made / more durable.

Nice looking valet tray with a soft feel and useful depth
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This valet tray turned out to be a perfect addition to my dresser and does a nice job keeping everything neat and tidy. It has a soft feel to it that makes it look a little nicer than a basic catchall tray, and I like the depth since it helps keep items contained instead of sliding out too easily. It is a simple piece, but it makes a difference when you want your everyday items organized in one spot. The included keychain holder is also a nice extra and gives it a little more usefulness right out of the box. The photos show the measurements, which should help with sizing expectations, but overall I think this is a good looking and practical organizer for a dresser, nightstand, or entry table.

Functional but theres size discrepancy
Color: Black, Color: Black
I received this PU leather valet tray and it looks mostly like the photos. The stitching and brass buttons look clean, and setup is easy since you just snap the corners together. The color appears more matte than expected and the surface texture feels fairly flat. I also measured the tray and the dimensions differ from the listing. The product page states 9.4 × 7.8 × 1.9 inches, but the one I received measures about 8 3/8 × 7 × 2 inches. Functionally, it works well for holding small items and seems scratch-resistant as advertised. It is a decent tray, but the size difference and material finish keeps it from being a 5-star product.
