Head vana ja uut!

Happy new year!

2014

Proovitükk

Sometimes printing on something else than fabric turns out quite interesting, for example on a piece of wood.

Vahest on päris huvitav ka mitte kangale trükkida, näiteks nagu puidule.

You can`t escape from Christmas

Oli vaja lumehelvestega trükimustrit- aga palun!

Kitchen number  2 is done and up, there`s kitchen number 1 too, but that hasn`t been photographed yet. Anyway, we make special orders and kitchen cabinets are one of these. The door frames and the work top are from solid ash.

Köök nr 2 on valmis ja nüüd sai üles ka siia, köök nr 1 on ka täitsa olemas, aga seda pole veel jõudnud pildistada. Igatahes teeme me ka eritellimustöid ja köögimööblit saab täitsa meie käest tellida. Uksed ja töötasapind on sellel köögimööblil saarepuidust.

Perfect models

Läheb külmaks

Since it is dark and cold and snowy, here`s a little picture remembering last summer, only few months to go.

Väike fotomeenutus eelmisest suvest pimedasse ja külma talve, ainult mõned kuud veel jäänud.

Sügis toas

Usually we don`t print with so many colours, because it is so time consuming, but when there`s a special order, almost everything is possible, like with these chair pads here.

Tavaliselt me ei trüki nii mitme värviga, kuna see nõuab väga palju aega,eriti kuna me ei trüki meetrite viisi kangast,  aga nende eritellimusel valmistatud toolipatjade puhul tegime erandi ja vahest on endal ka huvitavam.

Ilusat teisipäeva!

Our blog has existed in this world already a year! And of course this wooden cutting board is made by the brilliant hands of Jaanus.

Finish

It is strange to say goodbye to something, with what you have worked almost half a year. Actually it was a month and a half full of hard and intensive work and now there were left some last finishing touches - temporary wooden pumpstops were replaced with steel ones.

The client asked me if our studio could  build him some kind of huge scales, of course I said we can. As I continued to develop designs for this project, I realised, that few blacksmiths skills are not enough to make things like this to happen, so I contacted my old teacher from the art college, blacksmith Alar Tamm (http://www.separaud.ee/)

As always, when something is in your past, then it will come to haunt you. With those scales it is the same, in following weeks we will be casting weights for this very same set of scales. As I say casting, i mean making patterns for the casting company, anyway it will be an interesting challange.

To da seaside!

Animals of the workroom

View from the window....yes, it`s a rabbit.

get wood

What to do with an old fallen pear tree....
...and old fallen Ford?
Collect as much timber as possible, for future projects - that's obvious. 

Pancake day

A spatula from an old apple tree, it`s not a product of Choosday, just something we made, so that we could make pancakes during the lunch breaks.

Please be seated!

A custom made bar stool for a local beer shop in Tartu.

No posts for a long time, because it has been quite busy with special orders and preparing for autumn...don`t worry, we`ll let you know, what`s going on, but in the meantime enjoy the summer!

Pin pin pin....

Green Monday

There are days, when everything goes wrong and turns into some weird projects.

Hommik

Morning

New!

Above: New print is arrived: " KEVAD".
Below: we make table runners too - 45*145 cm, but if needed, we can sew different sizes too.
Also, as is mentioned in our previous posts,  we print on cotton-linen blend fabrics and with water based inks, so that the prints feel soft and have little bit of the fabrics structure.

And another one...

Juhuu, finally, spring is here!

Messing with the dogs

Behind the scenes: a glimpse of the things we do and try out ( besides screen printed textiles we also make steel tube beds)

In March

...

Our watchdog in da workshop, keeping company and spying the neighbours.

Front view

The sun is out and here`s some looks from the front. Oh, and the names of the prints are "Piisad" and "Treiterad".

Pillow mania

Our first textile products: cushion covers! Screen printed with non- toxic inks, linen-cotton blend, 45x45 cm . The filling is not included, but you can easily buy these from the fabric shops. If you need them, then you can write for further information here: choosdaydesign@gmail.com

Soon there will be some more colour variations and other home goods!

Tin-tin

Above: the inside of our new cushion covers, soon there will be presentable pictures too.
Below: documenting our screen-printing table... it`s still quite clean (for now).

Stainless

This cupboard was a special order for a bathroom. It`s made from stainless steel and birch plywood and it`s the first piece of furniture made in our new workshop, where all the wood and metal stuff is made.

Spring in the pot

Made in Estonia

Little update from our screen printing business. Not sure about the choice of the materials, I hope we will find something more suitable for the printing, but other than that I`m pleased with the result :)

Second - hand joy

Look, look, what we found from a second-hand shop...about 5 meters of pure joy.

Head uut!!!

Choosday wishes you a very very good new year. We have a lot of plans and dreams for 2014, stay tuned.
