You find yourself at Berlin Wood Sisters. Welcome.
My name is Anna-Liisa Reppo, I am a wood designer working with form, structure and material.
Berlin Wood Sisters is the platform where this work takes shape.
I created this space to explore how ideas become objects, and to document and share this process in a way that is visible and accessible.
One Sheet Furniture Lab
The One Sheet Furniture Lab is a design-led woodworking format based on a simple constraint: working with a single sheet of material.
It is part of my design practice, where I explore how form, structure and material interact, and how limitations can lead to clarity in design.
Working with one sheet forces decisions:
How much material is necessary?
Where can weight be reduced, and where must strength remain?
How does structure emerge from form?
In the lab, this process becomes visible.
It is observed, documented and reflected in real time.
Participants move from idea to object.
They sketch, test, adjust, and build.
Each piece begins from the same starting point, yet becomes a unique object shaped by individual decisions.
The outcome is not only a finished object, but a deeper understanding of how design translates into structure, and how material responds to intention.
This approach reflects my way of working as a designer, using constraints to reveal structure, clarity and form.
design and craft zero waste jewellery
The Zero Waste Jewelry Workshop is a design-led format focused on working with leftover wood and small material fragments.
It is part of my design practice, where I explore how value, form and meaning can emerge from what is usually considered waste.
Working with small pieces requires a different approach:
What can this material become?
How does scale influence form?
Where does structure give way to detail?
In this process, material is not reduced — it is reconsidered.
In the workshop, this transformation becomes visible.
It is observed, documented and reflected in real time.
Participants design and create small objects such as rings, pendants or earrings.
They test proportions, refine details, and work with precision.
Each piece begins with a fragment, yet becomes a complete object shaped by attention and intention.
The outcome is not only a finished piece of jewelry, but a deeper understanding of how design can redefine value, and how material, even in its smallest form, carries potential.
This approach reflects my way of working as a designer, seeing possibilities where others see leftovers, and translating them into form.
carve your first spoon
Carving a spoon is one of the most direct ways to understand how form emerges from material.
This format introduces the fundamentals of working with wood through a simple object, shaped by hand, guided by grain, and defined by use.
In this session, the process becomes visible.
It is observed, documented and reflected in real time.
Participants move from raw material to finished object.
They learn how to work safely with carving tools, how to shape form, and how to refine a surface through touch and repetition.
Each spoon begins as a block of wood, yet becomes a unique object shaped by the decisions of the maker.
The outcome is not only a finished piece, but an understanding of how material responds to intention, and how small gestures define form.
