Defect could be striking
There are thing that I always get passioned about. 
Questioning.
Have you been thinking about..
Where all the shoes go from the shoe stores?
Where all the big factories leftovers go?
Where all the animal leather goes from Estonian farms?
How many of us may think, how much we really need, what and why?
What about personalised stuff for me?
Worth waiting for it?
Is it about to have all perfect?
What about Unique?

Action.




  Chef Knife Bag
KOKAKOHVER

Knife Bag are made of Shoe Factory leather leftovers. Most of them are with defect but it's not the main importance. More important is to use material we have already, before look for more. Before I start making them, I rethink what material I already have and what would be the other options? The great option in my opinion is to use local material, what about Estonian Local Leather?

​Not perfect, just Unique!

Big bag VALTER
made of footwear company SAMELIN leather leftovers
​

It's a big thing to have sometimes a Big bag and that it's made of trash.  
It's classy, it's endless, just digg in and find suprises inside the BIG bag Valter.
But it's more than that, a big thing. It's important to see "big picture" how things are made. It's made from Estonian Footwear company SAMELIN leftovers.

Earrings made of military footwear leftovers

  This unique piece  of earrings are made of Military rubber boots leftover from Estonian footwear factory Samelin.
​ Leftover looked like peace of art and made me reuse it. Some Leftovers could transform so elegant.

Every piece is Unique!


Earrings "Mrs. Green"

 "Mrs. Green" has used same Leftover  like "Mrs. Beans" but with  little gold-plated touch. So light, that you even forget that you are using them but everybody else are looking at You!  They are  water resist  just like military rubber boots, that you could jump into the ocean in every moment and be adventures with them all day long.

Lamp RINGs
made out of MASS wood leftovers.
​

 After fabrics and leather as a good material to work with I am also passioned about wood. Wood leftovers inspire me make something out of it.
So there is also leftover in Estonian wood factory ​MASS.
I found wood leftovers which inspired me to make lamp you can put your hands on to make it bigger or smaller with different sizes of RINGs.

 Before it was a vest, but it got new shape for use as a laptop bag.
 This project was co-work with Linström, design product from industrial clothes- Linström leftovers.
The laptop bag is made from vest. Used almost all the material, only 5% got left from the vest and for straps used from apron.  Rest of the apron could be used for another product- cotton shopping bag.

Love for Chairs
​


This CHAIR was going to trash, but I saw something about it. Used my photographed "Carfield" cat who lived in horse refuge in Cordoba, Argentina, together with 70 badly treated horses.
