Ilse Evers 

Ilse is the visionary force behind Eversom, where her background in dance and theater uniquely shapes her creative process. Her journey into sustainable design began with fire hoses. 

Ilse customized traditional woodworking and leathercraft tools to suit the unique properties of the material. Each hose arrives at her studio with embossed textures, distinctive codes, brand names, and scars from its previous life. After cleaning and sorting the hoses, she lets the material dictate the final design, allowing it to guide her. This creative process results in timeless, heroic designs.
