Design Through Constraint

Material is not reduced. It's reconsidered.

One Sheet Furniture Lab

Working with a single sheet of material.

Participants move from idea to object: sketching, testing, adjusting, and building, each piece shaped by their own decisions.

Zero Waste Jewelry

Design and craft zero waste jewelry.

Working with leftover wood and small material fragments: rings, pendants and earrings shaped by precision and attention.

Spoon Carving

Carve your first spoon.

One of the most direct ways to understand how form emerges from material: shaped by hand, guided by grain, defined by use.

Your Teacher

The woman behind Wood Sisters

Anna-Liisa Reppo is an experienced waste wood designer and woodworker running her workshops in Berlin. She built Wood Sisters as a design platform with a focus on girls, women and FLINTA*: a place to connect with material, with craft, and with each other, with no risk of getting mansplained.

This approach reflects her way of working as a designer: using constraints to reveal structure, clarity and form.
