GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN PLACES.
lemta makes objects with hotels, lodges, restaurants and other places worth going to. Some things you can only get there.
PLACE
THE WORKSHOP
Nakivale, Uganda
THE OBJECT: Everything, so far
Where the first lemta objects are cut, sewn and knotted.
PLACE
A SAFARI LODGE
Uganda
THE OBJECT: THE EXTRA CHAIR
The first place you can find a lemta object in the wild.
PLACE
SINGAPORE
Singapore
THE OBJECT: Coming soon
Humid, hungry, exacting. A good place for an object to prove itself.
PLACE
VILNIUS
Lithuania
THE OBJECT: Coming soon
Where the word lemta comes from. It had to be on the list.
WHAT SHOULD EXIST NEXT?
We have ideas. You probably do too.
A charm for starting over
A ridiculous picnic bag
A hotel-room object worth stealing*
*Please don't actually steal hotel things.
A bag designed around one very specific problem
PASS IT ON.
Some things are better when they don't end with you. Some lemta objects come with a second charm. Keep it until you meet someone you want to give it to. No algorithm. No matching system. Just you noticing someone.
