Borealis Ltd began in 2010 as a family business with Jaanus Orgusaar as head of design and Margit Lillak as sales and marketing manager. Their focus has always been on sustainably producing design objects made from natural materialsāprimarily birch plywood. All their products are flat-packed, minimizing the carbon footprint of their shipping logistics. Their most iconic product is the Comb series of shelving units. In addition to furniture, Borealis has recently developed a small architecture division that produces small, self-sustaining living units.
Eco-designer Jaanus Orgusaar is an inventor and designer who delves directly into the primal source. His work is inspired by the geometry of nature, making his objects distinctly recognizable. His most remarkable quality is the construction of three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional sheet material, employing imaginative and personal patterns. As a passionate experimenter, he plays with structures that result in strikingly designed architectural objects. Form, based on the principles of nature, allows him to change the scale of the object, so that a lamp on Jaanus's desk can transform into a house and vice versa. His sculptural interior design objects are both practical and beautiful, offering a unique spatial experience. Just as nature strives for structure and order while adapting to its environment, the designer attempts to do the same, applying this method to his conception of design and architecture. Most of the interior objects were created based on the practical needs of the designer and his family. All the products are used dailyātested, refined, and perfected over the years.
