Ethically handmade cute decorative robot pendant made from tiny glass beads. Design by Mum's in Finland, handmade by a group of women working from their home in India.
Design of MUM's & Arne Puro from Finland:
There is a story behind everything. Once upon a time, in 2010 actually there was this little boy called Arne, at home with his mum. His mum was googling pics of robots as planning a Mum's Kid's collection of soft toys. Arne, then 6 yrs came, saw the photos of robots and got curious: "What are you doing mum?" His mum told him she was getting inspired by robots done, as planning a new collection of soft toys for kids. Arne ceased. He looked at his mum and said with all respect but with fully strict determination:
"AND I WILL DRAW YOU ROBOTS SO YOU DO NOT NEED TO STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S IDEAS!"
Then Arne ran to his room, came back with a pile of colourpens and paper and began to draw on the kitchen table. There was a roboto with big teeth to remind us to brush our teeth, Wingrobot may fly even through walls, four handed robot may help more because of many hands, girl robot has got a Marimekko stripy dress, just like Arne's mum.. Each and every robot was drawn with care and respect- and as story. Arne's drawings were turned to soft toys in the hands of Bolivian women artisans and these toys were sold at Artek shops, which was absolutely lovely. Then robots were forgotten.
In 2024, for Arne's surprise we brought the robots back, as it is Arne's 20 years celebration year : ) Lovely robots made in the hands on Indian women artisans as part of Mum's BEADiful things, as beautiful collectible wall art and keyrings.
