ELOLE rändas Berliini, et otsida inspiratsiooni ja leida uusi kontakte.
Et süda püsiks kindel, ümbritsesin end kodumaise iluga - Piret Kartuse ehted ja Kelpman Textile’i seeliku värvid olid mu kaaslasteks.
Berliinis alustasin Eesti saatkonnast, et leida uksi, mis ootavad avamist. Merit Kopli, meie kultuuriatašee Berliinis, jagas oma aega, mõtteid ja kontakte. Tema juhatuse abil sain piiluda osakese Berliini hinge taha.
Päevad venisid pikaks nagu varjud galeriide seintel (pildistasin neid liiga palju!). Jagasin ELOLE lugu ja näidiseid, lastes inimestel tunda eheda ja vääristatud puidu puudutust, mis on täis rahu ja tasakaalu.
Igatahes oli see samm tundmatusse, kaugel mugavusest. Hirmus hea, et jätkus julgust kunagine mõte teoks teha.
Tulin tagasi uute teadmistega, et neid siin Eestis rakendada, kuni ühel päeval kutsub ELOLE´t juba Amsterdami tuul : )

ELOLE traveled to Berlin to seek inspiration and forge new connections. To keep my heart steady, I surrounded myself with Estonian design - the jewelry from Piret Kartus and the vibrant colors of a Kelpman Textile skirt were my constant companions.
In Berlin, I began my journey at the Estonian Embassy to find the doors waiting to be opened. Merit Kopli, our cultural attaché in Berlin, generously shared her time, thoughts, and contacts. With her guidance, I was able to catch a glimpse behind the veil of Berlin’s soul.
The days stretched long, like shadows on gallery walls (I took far too many photos of them!). I shared the story and samples of ELOLE, letting people experience the touch of authentic, refined wood, a material filled with peace and balance.
Regardless, it was a step into the unknown, far beyond my comfort zone. It feels incredibly rewarding to have had the courage to turn an old dream into reality. I returned with new knowledge to apply here in Estonia, until one day, the winds of Amsterdam call for ELOLE : )
