Chair ‘MONDRIAN’
This chair was found from the attic, where it was left for a long time ago. It was covered with a thick layer of paint so, that even the screw and blot holes were full of paint. Many hours of work was spent to renovate it. The metallic parts were covered with new rust-proof paint and all the screws-bolts got changed. The pattern on the wooden parts of the chair has been painted by hand, inspired by the artist Mondrian. Therefore the name as well.
The chair was bought during event Kalamaja open yards and it got a new home in Kalamaja where it was found.
Sofa ‘TIBUVANA’
Originally, this sofa was made in former factory 'Rahvamööbel' in 1958. It was located in Tartu and many workers were handicap. The sofa belonged to Atmosfäär master's grand-grand-mother and after long use, it was left in summer cottage to wait for better times. Better times arrived in 2015, when Atmosfäär upholsterer started restoring this beautiful piece of furniture as a school graduation project (tutor Eha Vacht). It is a good example, how choosing the right fabric and great handicraft can make an old furniture to fit perfectly in nowadays homes. Sofa got it's name after the grand-grand-mother, who was called Tibuvana. After restoring, one could be sure that it will sure last for next generations.

Picture frame ‘JON SNOW’
Picture frame has been sold and lives now in Rapla!
This picture frame originates from Kalamaja, Tallinn and it was a window frame from the same suburb of old wooden houses. The old paint has been scrubbed off just enough to reveal the layers of history and at the same time to keep the unique look of the frame. Various scratches, small holes and original details, cleaned from rust, add the personality and tell stories about this frame. It's a piece of history from our neighborhood!
