Is this crafty working method somehow rooted in a Baltic tradition?
We love to say that we are looking for sources of inspiration everywhere, so yes, some of our products are influenced by our homeland culture. Estonia is famous for its handcraft traditions and folk arts. That’s why sometimes all you need to get inspired is a simple walk along the streets of Tallinn. We also feel encouraged by the beauty of northern nature and you can see it in our collections. A good example for it is our Wooden Font. The story around this font is based on minimalistic forest landscapes.
