TALLINN DESIGN HOUSE
TALLINN DESIGN HOUSE The embassy of Estonian design
The foundations for Tallinn Design House (TDH) were laid back in 2012 with design store ‘Zero’, which functioned as a retail store for Tallinn Creative Incubator companies. In 2017 Tallinn Creative Incubator opened a bigger showroom and boutique in the old wheat store next to Stalker Alley in the historic Rotermann Quarter. TDH is a space where Estonian design is showcased. It offers designer brands all-in-one solutions for the marketing and presentation of new products and in finding partners and resellers. Here you can sell your own products, organise and host a range of events (including those unveiling new collections), welcome guests and professionals from abroad, and make yourself truly visible using our shared exporting and marketing platform. TDH is a place where designers can gain actual experience in the retail industry and compete in a multibrand environment, pointing them in the right direction toward foreign markets. We bring together the very best of Estonian design – fashion, jewellery, leatherwork, home furnishings and decorations, gifts, books and art. TDH shines the spotlight on more than 100 local brands, for many of which we are their only sales point. We also constantly update our online store so that clients here and abroad can order Estonian design to be delivered to their door, and special gifts may be selected for business partners. This year we took home the title of Best Local Company in the Innovation category at the European Business Awards 2017-18. We were recognised for the comprehensive package of services we offer designer brands for Estonian designer brands are growing in leaps and bounds: their product portfolios are becoming more diverse and their ambition to expand beyond Estonia is growing. From this sprang the idea for Tallinn Design House brand book, with which we can promote Estonian fashion and design in unison. It even includes an original piece of Estonian music that supports the visuals. Assistance in publishing the brand book came from the Ministry of Culture and Enterprise Estonia. We would like to thank all of the Tallinn Design House brands and all of the organisations that work with us for their trust. Let’s take Estonian design to the world!
Tallinn Design House is much more than just a shop selling pieces by Estonian designers: it is a vehicle which focusses on promoting exports, provides support in the shape of good advice and constructive criticism, and brims over with creative ideas. At the wheel of this initiative is a group of indefatigable women who never complain. They are an inspiration! If you have yet to pay them a visit, do so as soon as you can, and go back again and again – it always smells amazing there, and things are always being rearranged and changed so much that it feels as though 200 brands are represented rather than 100.

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Curiosity, creativity and a determination to go further will help you find the opportunities, while to be well prepared you need consistency, smart guidance and lessons from your experiences. It is a luck that just over a year ago Tallinn Design House opened its doors. Here the cream of the crop of Estonian design and fashion offer experience for everyone: visitors randomly passing by, demanding fashion consumers or foreign delegations. It is a place where newcomers and recognized brands are given equal billing. But Tallinn Design House is not merely a shop. It is a complete ecosystem which brings together a broad range of people and organizations in order to help creative talents reach the wider world and bring home what is happening elsewhere around the globe. Barriers of entry are high, but anyone who overcomes them can be sure that they will also cope with the international TALLINN DESIGN HOUSE FOUNDATION TALLINN BUSINESS INCUBATORS ROTERMANNI 14, TALLINN 10111, ESTONIA P: +372 5865 0558 INFO@TALLINNDESIGNHOUSE.COM tallinndesignhouse.com

INSPIRATION Tallinn is lively yet peaceful, absurdly photogenic, and bursting with wonderful sights. A thirteenth-century castle sits atop Toompea, and Medieval Old Town features late gothic-, renaissance-, and even Protestant Scandinavian Baroque architecture. A few steps outside Old Town is the ultramodern Rotermann Quarter, and within walking distance is the Russian imperial summer residence designed in Italian Baroque style. Choose whatever style you like! If that’s not enough, Tallinn is also home to a variety of Soviet architecture, from the Stalinist “wedding cake” building to “Khrushchyovkas,” the much-maligned concrete-block housing. Much of the city’s modern economy has been built on the back of the nation’s IT successes. Digital-
ly-savvy Estonians work anytime from anywhere, and the contemporary physical environment has followed suit. Particularly inspiring are the Telliskivi Creative City, the science parks Tehnopol and Technopolis Ülemiste, or any of the half-dozen startup incubators and coworking spaces in the city. Tallinn is also a city by the sea with dozens of harbours, some cozy yacht harbours like Pirita, Kakumäe, and Noblessner, and some built on industrial scale. Public beaches, accessible by
promenades, are all walkable from the city center and a few are linked to the cultural kilometer. The Paljassaare nature reserve is located within the city’s boundaries. Add to the architecture the delicious food scene, vibrant and modern culture, festivals, and creative individuals, and you get one of the freshest top destinations in the whole of Europe!

The rich patterns and ancient craftsmanship of traditional national folk costumes serve as inspiration for our designers. KELPMANN textiles

LUMMUS
LUMMUS Lummus is the synonym for Estonian quality design jewellery The beauty of Estonia seethes in the dandelion that blossoms in the overflowing morning sunbeams, hides itself in the cracks of a hundred-year-old tufted log before a beach house, and reveals with a surprise in a chilly breeze with hints of lilac. And then it disappears. Into the shadow of the shrub. Into sounds, smells, music. The beauty of Estonia is enchan ting, magical, sometimes even bewitching. To capture it, one must know it. To pronounce it, one must understand it.
For almost a century the company Juveel OÜ has been inspired by the loveliness of nature and worshiped the fine work of a goldsmiths. In 2016 the company brought together three appreciated jewellery designers: Krista Lehari, Birgit Skolimowski and Gvido Valickis. They created Lummus (enchantment in English) – dainty jewellery that represents the beauty of Estonia. Lummus is the designers’ answer to the whole world.
The jewellery pieces of Lummus are prepared in the capital of Estonia, Tallinn, at the masters’ house on Kadaka road. Only quality materials are used in these accessories, and the selection contains pieces for both women and men.

ELLU SCARVES A hug from the beautiful countryside ELLU SCARVES was established in 2010 to modernize the patterns used in Estonian folk costumes and enliven our ancient shawl-wearing traditions. According to lore, the patterns in shawls protected, kept, and adorned their wearer. Shawls were worn as part of folk costumes during celebrations and were cared for and handed down from generation to generation. Our patterns were gathered from all corners of Estonia and given new life in Ellu Scarves. Our modern collections are made in cooperation with Estonian artists, designers and handicraft masters.
In addition to our shawls we carefully and lovingly knit blankets, bedding, soft pillows and baby blankets. We also take inspiration from Norwegian and Finnish folk patterns, and we’ve worked with Nordic designers to make products for our neighbours overseas. Our shawls are like the loving arms of our beautiful land. We hope they remind you of the beauty and magic of our country!
Ellu Scarves are decorated with beloved Estonian patterns using the wisdom and skills of our ancestors. When you are wearing an Ellu scarf, you are contributing to preserving and introducing our roots and honouring our cultural heritage. I hope that Ellu Scarves will help carry the beauty and deep knowledge of our ancestral mothers to many, many generations to come. Helen Vaks, the founder of Ellu Scarves

Days where you can do whatever you want, go where ever you want, and be exactly who you want to be. You speak volumes about yourself without opening your mouth. We wish for your looks to say: Yes, I am confident, inspiring; I love myself, and I love beauty. MJU – MY JOYFUL UNIVERSE believes that beauty is the only thing that can save the world. Because beauty
doesn’t care about your age, gender or passport – it is a language that everyone speaks! MJU was created by two women: Anneli Akinde and Külli Kuusik. Both have studied graphic art, both love fashion, art, chocolate, and summer. They even share a favourite colour – blue.

Like many great inventions, ST Parka was born out of necessity. Filming at a northern latitude is far from Hollywood glam. It’s a real struggle. The temperature rarely rises above 12 degrees Celsius. When watching dozens of takes, standing still and keeping quiet, you can feel the cold creeping in and eating at your flesh and bones. Jaanus began experimenting with a variety of fabrics and layers. It took years until he finally came to a conclusion as to what works and what does not. While moving from
silhouette. He wanted to design a product that was both functional and elegant, a coat for every occasion, from forest trails to the streets of a metropolis.
Seasoned Traveler is an all-in-one piece in many ways. You can wear it with lining in winter or without lining in spring and autumn. You also don’t have to worry about sweating under the first hot sun of spring because of the shell’s natural fabric. In autumn, it can be worn over your t-shirt and still feel warm and comfortable. By adding the lining you can fully enjoy a frosty day that quickly turns into night. Seasoned Traveler is made in Estonia, in the small resort town of Haapsalu. The fabrics come from England, Germany and Japan. Jaanus believes that everyone involved at every step of the supply chain should get a fair pay for what they do. They should get vacations and health insurance. Their children should be able to go to school and they should have enough food on the table. That is why Seasoned Traveler costs what it does. And that’s the truth.

Vill means wool in Estonian. It is warm, breathable and has protected us – the Nordic people – from harsh weather conditions for centuries.
Our vill comes from sheep and is spun into yarn in Lithuania. It then travels north, to Estonia, where people passionate about knitting turn it into the warmest of hugs. Every item in our collection is knitted traditionally (with needles) from 100% wool.
Our hugs are soft and genuine. We do not develop new collections every season but rather focus on having a palette of minimalistic, high-quality products made from natural materials that do not lose their value or style when trends change.
Vill Vill stands for transparency. You will know where your garment comes from, how much yarn was used and how many hours it took to make it.
Our mission is to make wool garments that last a long time. Let yourself be hugged!

To let these patterns and textures tell their stories, create paths, and to make us wander along these roads. A garment for me is like a talisman, which creates inspirational space and atmosphere around the wearer,’ explains the designer.

MITHIO Timeless knitwear
We are an Estonian brand rooted in wool heritage and passionate about providing the highest quality knitwear. MITHIO is a Tallinn based knitwear brand founded in 2009. Mithio is the ancient, mythical mystery that has inspired us to create something unique, bringing beautiful modern folk art back to everyday use.
Every new collection and reproduced best-selling style contains different, rich-in-texture knit types and geometrical patterns. Combining centuries-old national traditions across Nordic countries with today’s latest technologies one can create a contemporary product, which has a connection to the place from where we originate. Add to this our northern modest nature, and the result is a restrained toneon-tone colour combination for everyday wearable knit.
There is something for everyone, both men and women: a thick and soft cable-knit sweater or a comfy cardigan for long winter nights, or a thinner merino blend sweater as everyday office wear. During the past nine years, Mithio has gained the trust of many loyal customers, who value the products’ visual and practical side, as well as their cozy appeal. Mithio uses materials from verified and reputable business partners with high environmental standards. Only the highest quality Italian yarns are used and all knits are made in Lithuania. In this way, we assure our customers that our products are made with minimal ecological impact. A good piece of knitwear will serve you through years and events, especially in a cold climate, where a quality wool sweater is something you’ll need throughout the year.

CASTLEBIRD & ROSE
CASTLEBIRD & ROSE Where silk & art meet The unique designs of our fabrics are direct replicas of original paintings by a variety of artists. The originals are in our company´s private collection. Through the revival of artists´ works on authentic materials – designing gorgeous fabrics which are made into deluxe garments – we contribute to a more beautiful world. All our garments are designed and sewn in Estonia. They come in limited editions, are cut by hand, and are hand finished. We use biodegradable materials for our collections.
The story of CASTLEBIRD & ROSE began with a childhood dream, and with time the dream becomes part of the imagination. The dream materialised for the first time in November 2015 when we were in Paris and caught in the middle of Paris terror attacks. All public institutions were closed for many days, apart from some art galleries and antique markets on the outskirts of the city. This is where we bought our first painting by a 19th-century French artist – a hidden pearl awaiting its destiny – to be revived on silk. Our story is proof of the fact that sometimes beauty can
become a refuge from the madness of the world. And how, even during the bleakest hours, there is room for something beautiful to be born. The name of our brand consists of three strong symbolic motifs: the castle, bird and rose. The castle is a symbol of a defended city, the bird a symbol of peace and freedom, and the rose a symbol of silence, balance expressing promise, new beginnings, and hope, with its thorns representing defence and strength.

The story of my Circus Porcelain collection: My family once lived in a house on a nice boulevard in the very center of town. Every spring the circus arrived in our backyard. A huge tent was put up, and bears, tigers, lions, and monkeys appeared. The sounds of the circus orchestra and roars of the bears and lions filled the warm summer nights. Clowns, acrobats, magicians, and animal trainers milled about. And then one morning it was all gone – until the following spring. SUME by Piret Kändler ceramic work is defined by my love for functional porcelain tableware. My porcelain products feature a range of creative mediums which combine surface- and graphic design with ceramic qualities.
The material I work with is por celain. I use mostly slip-cast porcelain, as it allows to control thickness of my works, enabling translucency. The goods are bisque fired to 900 C, glazed with trans parent glaze, and fired to 1,260 C.

The designers started their collabo ration in 2014 at the Department of Glass Art of the Estonian Academy of Arts, where the first pieces were made specially for the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair. The first piece was a set of drinking glasses and a pitcher called ‘We Match’
(Me Sobime Kokku in Estonian), from which the brand name MSK Glass was derived. MSK Glass uses a simple Scandi navian-like design language that guarantees the works are durable in time, since they are not influenced by passing trends. The glassware is suitable for both everyday use and special occasions. Through the variety of colors, a little bit of joy and sparkle is added to the Nordic interior.
The designs are inspired by the principles of fitting and machining forms together. Those principles are used playfully in the design process, favoring an emotional approach over a functional one. All the glassware is handmade and mouth-blown by the MSK Glass designers in Estonia, making every single piece one of a kind.

MARILIGHTS
MARILIGHTS The fusion of the unexpected MARILIGHTS’ story goes back to 2012 – actually, even further than that – the year when Tauri Mae and Mari Saarepera’s love of design led them to start a company. Their studio was the product of an unlikely collaboration between two contrasting minds. Engineer Tauri and artist Mari connected over a shared passion for design. What ensued was a journey in which they would learn to work together; Tau ri’s naturally logical and practical outlook blending seamlessly with Mari’s artistic instinct. The result is the design studio in which Mari Lights was born.
Mari Saarepera
Mari Lights is dedicated to the creation of contemporary lighting, designed and produced with a mid-century mindset where lon gevity is key. Combining engineer ing with art and using both tradi tional and innovative technologies, Mari Lights produces visually striking, conceptual designs with minimalist character. Their pieces are produced by artisans with an astounding level of skill and atten tion to detail. Mari Lights is com mitted to perfecting the finer details. The precision of these small details embedded within simple, graphic forms results in the luxury, desirable products they’re known for.
Evident in Mari Lights’ products is the harmony between their two creators, whose differing back grounds and mentalities unite to form the perfect pairing. The con trast of carefully engineered mate rials and refined design used in the creation of their products echoes the differences between Tauri and Mari themselves. Mari Lights is a dynamic fusion of the unexpected, just like the partnership between its creators.

JOIK
JOIK Skin care benefits combined with the luxury of scent and colour JOIK is the largest and best known Estonian home fragrance and nat ural cosmetics brand sold in more than 20 countries worldwide. The most important aspect of Joik products has always been honesty and the use of high-quality naturaland near-natural ingredients. A long process of research and testing precedes the launch of all new Joik products. We pay careful attention to the design and aesthet ics of our prod ucts – we believe that along with skin care benefits the products should also pamper the senses – nice packaging and pleasant aromas are always an essential part of Joik production, proving that natural can be luxurious.
The Joik story began in 2005 when the company was the first in Esto nia to produce high-quality scented soy wax candles. Joik’s founder, Eva-Maria, was searching for scent ed high-quality candles for dark winter nights. Finding suitable candles turned out to be harder than expected, but she discovered that a suitable alterna tive to paraffin is natural soy wax and the next step was to find the desired aromas. The process of getting the candles exactly right was long and nuanced. However, it was worth the effort, as the result was a creation of heav enly-smelling and clean-burning candles that
fascinated everyone who had a chance to use them. Inspired by the success of the candles, natural cosmet ics were added to the line, includ ing soaps, bath and body products, hand and foot care prod ucts, and facial care products. The name Joik comes from the language of the nature-loving Sami people – joik meaning the Sami’s ancient style of singing. The word is a unique form of cultural expression, conveying emotions and describing people, animals and nature. Joik carries tradition, but is at the same time in constant development and in line with the contemporary world. The company Joik carries similar values – we appreciate ancient skills of using nature for health and wellbeing, but evolving continuous ly and creating products that suit modern people. All Joik products are hand-made and packaged in Estonia in our modern production facility situated on the outskirts of Tal linn, surrounded by pine trees and meadows.

D’DIFFERENCE
D’DIFFERENCE Difference by nature D’DIFFERENCE – skincare pro ducts with a minimum amount of ingredients providing maximum benefit for the skin! As we all know, nature is full of miracles. Many of them can be used for the benefit and welfare of our skin. More than a decade ago a group of biochemists and scientists led by Ruth Oltjer, an Estonian doctor of internal medicine, began to search for skincare products that respect the skin’s natural defense system and are based on natural ingredients. The products were first developed for hospital use, and after damaged skin (extreme dryness, bedsores, scaling) was positively impacted, a full line of sophisticated, quick-absorbing and easy-to-use products for all skin types was born.
‘There are so many products in today’s world. We have created a line that is luxurious and sophisticated, absorbs instantly and consists of natural ingredients.’ Ruth Oltjer, founder of D`DIFFERENCE What benefits does D’DIFFER ENCE offer for the skin? Coming from the Northern Europe the four seasons and the alwayschanging climate have taught us to create products that ‘know’ how to strengthen the skin and flood it with moisture, nutrients and energy. We do not use parabens, SLS, silicones, mineral oils, PEGs, or synthetic colours in any of our products.
Skin is skin, it does not require many things. Our brand offers minimum ingredients with maxi mum effect, a stable pH level, and we practice controlled production under ISO9001 standards. All products are formulated using a clinically proven concentration of each active ingredient, to cater to evidence-based results and excel lent sensory aspects. The big question about skin today is not how to hide your age but how to make skin glow and look healthy. One of the answers to this is formu lating using ingredients with low molecular weight that work deep inside the skin – the smart mole cules. No need for those 20+ 30+ 40+ claims; let´s concentrate on individual skin and its needs! We are here to guide you.
