In the eve of the song and dance festival telecommunication company Elisa introduced to the market laptops with national prints in order to give the mobile computer fans the possibility to take the national patterns into modern use on the cover of their laptops, informs Elisa.
According to Reet Piir, researcher of the Estonian National Museum, there are never too many beautiful and good things, especially if they are based on tradition. “The cover design of the Elisa laptops use symbols which are recognizable for every Estonian – striped skirt and the octagonal lucky star of the belt patterns.”
According to the words of the member of the board of Elisa Andrus Hiiepuu, the folk costume patterns which are known from the books of folk costumes have been actively taken into use in several forms during the song and dance festival year and have thereby been revived. “While by now, the historical folk patterns are decorating socks and sneakers, then Elisa offers the mobile computer fans the possibility to acquire a laptop with national patterns,” he said. You can choose the stylised belt pattern of the Kanepi parish, stripes of the Kihnu skirt or the stripes of the skirt from Urvaste parish as the cover of Lenovo IdeapadS10 laptop. The pattern is placed on the cover of the laptop with a film that can easily be removed if necessary.
