We started with two people – from the first wooden characters created by Linas in 2010.
and the accompanying stories and poems of Rūta. Currently, the creative team of EtnoDesign
The studio unites our family and a few close artist friends with whom we
we share a creative communion. Lines and words are laid down to the wooden

The common denominator of our work is improvisation of ethnicity.
theme. We believe that the most beautiful inspiration comes from tradition, and even then - we have fun playing jazz, retelling our feelings and experiences in our own way.

EtnoDesign started with Rūtusėliai – the very first one in 2010.
spring weekend, on the eve of the Kaziukas Fair. Sunflowers and daisies,
traditional and newly born patterns of different cultures intertwined around
Running, flying and blooming loving creatures - this is how it all came about
from the warm feeling that it is good to give and receive gifts yourself.

The balls fit in the palm of your hand, smell like wood, and are easy to apply.
to the life of beautiful-hearted people. They like to swing from the window, to hang around under
lamp, decorate walls, furniture, hide in festive bouquets and Christmas trees,
to stick notes on the fridge and secretly rejoice more than anything
serving as postmen. Can you imagine Rūtusėlė being attached to
a funny letter, you can hang it on your neighbor's door, then press
call and quickly escape.

We love tea. While the water is boiling, you can assemble a wooden puzzle-mat for a hot teapot! This is very useful when guests arrive in a hurry, and the hosts still want to escape to the kitchen for a while. Guests are busy, the hosts gain time. We invented our “soft wood” technology – it is full of secrets. Flexible mats have been created for the joy of teapots, cups, vases and the table, which at the same time feel the strength of wood and the softness of felt.

We love stories. We tell them ourselves and we want others to tell theirs and write them down. Hence – a wood-scented notebook for thoughts, wishes and memories.

We love memories and reminders. Rūtusėliai are full of them. Our clever magnets can stick not only to the fridge, but also to curtains or lamps. It's time to cover the wall of the children's room with double-sided magnets, stick Rūtusėliai to them and freely change the order of their arrangement as you wish!

Each Rūtusėlis tells his story with a magical wish that begins to come true before he has even had time to drink his morning coffee.

Rūtusėliai "speak" Lithuanian, English and, upon request, French.
Everything is laid out on the accompanying card.

It doesn't take up much space, but it can fill the heart.

It's more fun to love with Rūtusėliai!

In the tenth year of the EtnoDesign studio, alongside gifts with stories, luminous stories were born – wooden lamps decorated with signs with symbolic meaning.

Emitting soft, diffused light, the openwork shades stand out with their ethnically inspired openwork patterns.
ornaments and their modern interpretations. Another line of our products is minimalist, with laconic shapes, characterized by special wood colors and textures. All you have to do is choose the desired shape of the lamp, size and a symbol that is important to you, and we will fill your home with light in which their stories will spread.
