For a long time ago, the
greenlandic people had always a way to supply themselves
with accessories. therefore they make the accessories which
is adapted to the greenlandic enviroment. Over 4000 years
Greenland had inhabitans. with the accessories they have not
influenced the nature.
Kayak, Umiak and dogslegde, were used as transport, and the
people lived in freedom of nature. they have adapted the
accessories to the water and land.
Now we make these accessories the same way as they make in
the old days. In that way they will never go out of the
Greenlandic culture.

From the old days was it very important to have a lamp, but
the lamp was limited - from the lamp to soapstone. in over
