Estonia is a country of wetlands, lakes and forests. Pristine nature is apparently the purest force that connects us and ties our origins together.

This Embassy is a small piece of Estonia in the centre of London, and the primaeval landscapes of the interior are like a letter from home. The peat bogs on the walls, chairs and carpets, the thicket, and birches hidden in the chandeliers are Estonia’s language, which needs no translation.

The neoclassical house we are in was built in 1857 for residential purposes. Many elements of the interior date back to those times: the cornices, décor, fireplaces, and doors. In 2014–2015, this beautiful building was remodelled.
