Creating thoughtful illustrations to remind us of what matters

Its owner and illustrator, Elisa, collaborates with environment-conscious manufacturers and produces illustrated goods as locally as possible. The use of plastic is minimized and occurs only if there is no alternative for it.

Finnish reflectors

made in Finland, where Reflectors became a mid-century Finnish innovation. farmer Arvi Lehti developed a reflector that allowed his horse wagon to be seen in the dark more efficiently. Soon his reflectors were in widespread use by pedestrians throughout Finland, and nowadays reflector tags are seen everywhere in the dark winter months. Finnish reflectors are used by pedestrians by easily clipping the parrot lock into one’s clothing.
