Marilyn is a graphic designer who has also studied product design. With a good sense of style, she can see beauty in things. Sander has been involved in youth work and event planning, but he has always liked working with his hands and head.

People throw things away too easily to replace them with new ones. Worn and broken things can be fixed and they can still be a sight to behold for decades. That's why we've filled our homes with second-hand furniture.

We really enjoyed looking for and organizing things, but at one point, so much stuff had accumulated that it couldn't fit in our home anymore.

We had to do something because our home was slowly turning into a warehouse. We decided to share our findings with others and created an Instagram account called Vanacool Sisustus. Since there were many interested people, we opened a store in May 2025 to make it more convenient and enjoyable for those interested to see and touch things with their own eyes.
