Many years ago, when my family and I still lived in a small two-room apartment in Kuressaare, I had the opportunity to acquire the remaining semi-scrap precious wood parquet strips from a larger construction. The desire was to use them to make a new floor covering for the kitchen and corridor. However, according to the sorting, I got a suitable quantity only for the corridor. I took the rest to the basement and they stayed there for years. 

Later, when we had built a home on our own land, these lipids, waiting for their time, fortunately came with us. It was actually a point of discussion and it was not really a very obvious possibility. They had to wait here too, because there was a home, but not yet a suitable hobby corner for the owner. 

A few years ago, when I managed to build a wood workshop and acquired the primary tools, lipids also came to the fore again. During the move, with which I gathered the wood stocks I had in one place.
I sorted and stacked these lipids by tree species and lengths. The picture turned out to be different, but since it was still a very well-preserved species of precious wood, I had an urgent desire to give them some intrinsic value. This is where I came up with the idea of making boxes out of them. The beauty of this idea was that the raw materials from which to make it are so different, diverse and in limited quantities. The challenge was to create something special by combining raw materials and work methods.

One of the first samples was making a hexagon box from the material obtained by gluing different colored layers together. The impetus for coming up with this was the main activity of working with La Tene's son for many years, transporting it. Tene had just written an article about the power of the hexagonal shape and the client had just asked for a stand or box where he could store his crystals. The idea of life itself.

That's how the making of boxes started. That year, I also made boxes for most of my employees at La Tenes as birthday presents. Of course, I tried to make each gifted box the face of the recipient and according to his nature, which he was able to reflect to me. It was a very interesting and creative activity. The result was the recipient's anticipatory, self-recognizing joy. What more can a creator want from nature. The joy and sparkle in the eyes was a powerful reward for what was done.
