hand crafted by the visually impaired
In the late 1900s century a small brush manufacturing started out in Stockholm. It was such a successful movement that it remains today. Now, as then, every brush is made by hand by visually impaired craftsmen. It brings new dimensions to the concept of sensitively made by hand.
All brushes are of exclusive design and made mostly from natural materials.
Today they are 17 employees with the core of the business brush binding manufactured at Sandsborgsvägen, Enskede – here 6 visually impaired craftsmen from different cultures make brushes according to an old Swedish tradition.
