Every now and then you come across an
idea and you bite your nail - or a pillow because you didn't come to think of it
yourself. Every so often you also come
across a person that simply makes it
happen. Meet Tea Latvala, the CEO of
Teatiamo Industries. While she has been
making it happen ever since I first met her
over ten years ago, lately she's truly been
giving people a lesson on what "sisters
doing it for themselves" is all about. Just
few months ago she launched Teatiamo,
and almost immediately her idea attracted
investors. So, what is the fuss all about? It's
very simple. She designed something others
had not thought of: an object that functions
as an art piece - one of them could be on
the top of your design magazines right
beside your bed, perhaps couple of them in
a bowl in your living room - and at the
same time it can be used to pleasure
yourself. Here's a sex toy you don't need to
hide in your drawer. Teatiamo wooden
designs do not scream sex like most adult
toys, they are discreet handmade design
elements: true crossover products that
could revolutionize the way we look and
think about sex toys. And even if you never
get that itch, it can still serve you well as a
piece of art. It's your secret, out in the
open. I had a chance to interview the busy
CEO who is currently in Miami, USA, to find
new opportunities for her rising brand.
Where did you get the idea to design luxurious adult toys?
I wanted to design something elegant and timeless something that would break boundaries between the sex
and design industry.
Can you tell us something more about the designs
