Tom of Finland drew this emblem for the Foundation he created in his name in 1984 together with Durk Dehner.

The integration Tom of Finland’s work into the media at hand – hand made rugs and pillows - was ignited by the unique environment and interior elements that make TOM House. Located in Echo Park, Los Angeles, it is home of Tom of Finland Foundation, guardians of the artist’s body of work and living archive for the erotic arts, and where Tom permanently lived for the last decade of his life. Founded in 1984, it a place where Tom’s relentlessly butch aesthetic and drawings mingle with different styles of décor, artifacts, rotating art displays and open air installations. It is a place that is marked by a community that disarms shame and judgment, and promotes Tom’s message of encouraging respect, acceptance and love through art.

About Tom of Finland

Tom of Finland was the pseudonym of Touko Laaksonen (1920–1991), the Finnish artist whose drawings of muscular, joyful men in leather and uniforms became defining images of gay culture. Working from the 1950s onwards, he created a confident, celebratory vision of masculinity that has since been embraced by museums, fashion houses and designers around the world.
