The oakwood bath with a plain form could be a traditional object in people’s homes. The bath is 100% natural, as the wood is made waterproof with natural oils. The prototype of the bath was executed in summer of 2009 at the sculpture department of Estonian Academy of Arts.

Working with an unusual material could change the design process and lead to an interesting solution. Our starting point was Alvar Alto Three-legged stacking Stool (1933). We used gingerbread to re-create the stool.

On 15. of September we presented Mobile Symphony in Estonia Concert Hall at “Entrepreneurship Award 2009″ gala.
Musical instrument consists of a synthesizer and hundreds of old mobile phones, that people have donated. Musician is playing on the instrument and thus calling to the phones by pressing the synthesizer’s keys. The sounds of mobile phones are creating a sound- and light concert.
“The members” of the orchestra originate from places and people from all over Estonia – for example from 84 year old lady, from a small boy from Valgamaa. The phones have been donated by employees of city governments, banks, hospitals, supermarkets, media enterprises. We are pressenting that collection at the concert.

The first presentation of Mobile Symphony took place at Leigo Lake Music Festival, on August 2009.

The sound and light concert is based on a musical instrument that consists of 150 old mobile phones and a synthesizer. The phones were donated by the people in Estonia. The tunes are authentic, presenting peoples preference in mobile tunes over the years. Musician is playing on a synthesizer and, by pressing down the keys, is calling to the mobile phones. The phones are creating a sound and light show on the grass field in a countryside.

The value of money is conventional, we are using it in our everyday activities for selling our time and energy. If taking away the usual value, coins become a pile of metal discs, they have the same size and shape. Building up a structure of 30 000 coins is a process that lasts one 8 hour workday.

The installation is made up of mobile phones collected from the people in the city. The phones are hanged on a tree for 24 hours where they create a light- and sound-installation. To participate in creating the installation you may give your mobile phone to be hanged on the tree and you may call your friends who have done the same.
The project attempts to create a discussion. We would like to evaluate the role of the mobile phone by taking a few steps and looking at it from a distance. There was an active media covering for both installations on TV and in newspapers, reporters started a discussion on the role of mobile phones in our lives.
We are organizing the installation in different cities around the world. The installation has been organized in Tallinn, in Edmonton and in Sao-Paulo.
A Day Without The Mobile Phone will be presented at 16th International Symposium on Electronic Art in Germany in August 2010.

In this work I am exploring the co-existence of space and the human body.
I am fascinated by how space and objects predefine our actions. We have been taught to read the signs of objects and to behave according to the information. For that reason our movement is predictable and the body has become machinery; performing the tasks and acting unemotionally. In my work I am zooming in on a typical Dutch kitchen which was designed for utmost functionality. The work is about enjoying the body that you have in the space that surrounds it.
The work was presented in the Amsterdam Biennale at Mediamatic, as part of Tallinn pavilion from 17. Oct 2009 to 3. Jan 2010.
Being in a team of NEXT architects a prototype chair and a folding screen were created. These products are the result of a technologically innovative use of materials, which is a condition for the “Drytech” project series organized by Droog Design.
