Brushes are made at SRF Hantverk Sweden. The production facility employs visually impaired craftsmen from a range of cultures.
Traditional HandicraftsToday, visually impaired craftsmen attach each individual bundle of bristles to the base of the brush with their steady hands, just like they used to in the 19th century. The results? Beautiful, functional and much coveted brushes which also help make everyday life that little bit brighter.
Traditional Craftsmanship
For over a hundred years, visually impaired craftsmen and women have been making brushes by hand, according to an old Swedish tradition. SRF Hantverk focus on functional design and carefully selected natural materials. Combined with their expert craftsmanship, this gives every brush a unique function.
Kjell Arnell, brush maker:
"When my sight got worse I applied to the government for early pension. I thought, 'There would be nothing I could work with now. I would not even employ myself'. Now I got new workfriends and have learnt myself a new profession, it is fantastic!"
