SECRETS OF RUSSIA
A few years ago Aamu Song and Johan Olin set on a journey to explore Russian manufacturing secrets .The travels, which took us from Moscow to Urals, into Siberia and to the Caucasus, resulted in collaboration with tens of traditional manufacturers. After each factory visit – and after we learned each of the traditional manufacturing skills – we designed new products based on these traditions.



Arriving to the Semenov factory, Russia.



Turning linden wood. Each matryoshka is unique since only tools used are the experienced eyes of the wood work masters.



After wood turning, the dolls take a bath in potato starch and are stored for drying before the paint work.
