Our CEO Ott came back from vacation and a conference to find that his team had multiplied. 👨‍🦲👨‍🦲👨‍🦲

For yesterday’s project retro, we all showed up as Ott: white shirt, blue jeans, glasses, and the occasional bald cap. The plan was flawless. What we didn’t expect was Ott walking in wearing the exact same white shirt. Turns out we know our boss even better than we thought.

So the new office dress code is official: white shirts for everyone, bald caps optional. 🎃

Happy Halloween from Team Ott (sorry, Team Motor)!

✈️ Eleven people, four days, two countries, and one very carefully colour-coded spreadsheet.

Last week the Motor team went on a study trip through the Netherlands and Belgium. It was the biggest one we’ve done — eleven of us travelling together, which turns out to be exactly one more than most museum group booking forms are expecting.

We went to look at how other people build exhibitions. Over four days we worked our way from Amsterdam down through Hilversum, Arnhem, Utrecht and Rotterdam to Antwerp and Brussels, and spent our days doing what exhibition people do inside other people’s exhibitions: standing very close to a wall, photographing how the panel is fixed to it.

A few numbers from the trip:
➡️ 11 colleagues, 0 lost
➡️ 4 days, 2 countries, 7 cities
➡️ 12 museums
➡️ 20,000 steps per person per day — around 880,000 between us
➡️ 1 itinerary built entirely around the fact that most Dutch museums are closed on Mondays

If we had to pick three — and we did, at length, on the way back — they were the Artis Aquarium in Amsterdam, the Media Museum in Hilversum, and Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Three very different answers to the same question.

Our thanks to everyone who gave us their time, answered our questions about floor loads, lighting tracks and vitrine seals without once sighing, and took it in good humour when we photographed the cable management instead of the objects. Particular thanks to Alexander Zwennes of Kiss the Frog, who walked us through the Media Museum building and its exhibition, and to Merel Somhorst of Planemos, who opened up their production floor and talked us through their projects.

🏰 New Project: Museum of Medieval Kilkenny (MoMK)

We’re excited to share a new project we’re working on in Ireland — Museum of Medieval Kilkenny (MoMK).

Opening in spring 2027, this new permanent exhibition will bring the fascinating stories of medieval Kilkenny to life, creating a dynamic and family-friendly visitor experience in the heart of Ireland’s Medieval Capital.

For us the project is all about turning the exhibition design into a tangible, immersive experience. We are responsible for the production and installation of the exhibition fit-out, set dressing and graphics — bringing together the physical details that help make the stories feel real.

The project brings together an international team of talented partners:
✨ Client: Kilkenny County Council
✨ Exhibition Design: DMW Creative
✨ Museum Renovation & Interior Design: McCullough Mulvin
✨ AV, Digital, Audioguides & Technical Integration: Phanta Visual
✨ Mixed Reality Experiences: Imvizar
✨ Exhibition Fit-out, Set Dressing & Graphics: Motor

We’re proud to be part of a project that combines history, storytelling, design and technology to create a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
📍 Kilkenny, Ireland
📅 Opening Spring 2027
We can’t wait to see it all come together! 🇮🇪🏰

🥉 Bronze for Swedbank's Financial Literacy Center!

Happy to share that Swedbank's Financial Literacy Center just won Bronze at the Estonian Design Awards 2026, in the Digital Design & User Experience category!

Platvorm developed games and digital solutions for Swedbank's Financial Literacy Center — helping students tackle real-life economic decisions through play. Where does a family budget actually go? How expensive is electricity, really? Can you invest 30 years in just 6 minutes? We built interactive tools that let students explore index funds, down payments, credit costs, and more — refined through repeated playtesting with real students and teachers along the way.

It was such a pleasure working with the talented team at Platvorm on this project. Huge thanks to everyone involved — the experts, educators, and developers who helped bring real financial literacy to life for the next generation.
🏆 Congratulations to the whole team!

Time flies! It’s already time for the next International Museum Construction Congress(IMCC) — this time in Munich, Germany.

The program has been set up by International Museum Construction Congress program committee and supported by Brian J.Mandrier, DES.

For us, IMCC has become a must-attend event for the museum industry — a great place to exchange ideas, discover what’s happening in the field, and most importantly, meet the people behind exciting projects.

And of course, we wouldn’t miss it. In fact, this time we’re coming with a bigger team than ever before!

Ott Sarapuu, Ott Roots, Liis Lehesalu and Ludwig Kühner are ready for inspiring conversations, new connections and catching up with our long-time partners and friends.

Munich, here we come!

🌊 New exhibition alert: Kon-Tiki Museum, Oslo!

We're proud to share one of our latest international project — a new exhibition at the legendary The Kon-Tiki Museum in Norway, home to Thor Heyerdahl's original balsa raft that crossed the Pacific in 1947.

Huge thanks to Expology for the brilliant concept and exhibition design — it was a pleasure bringing their concept to life. Production was a joint effort between Yeswecan and us.

What made this project special: the museum never closed its doors during construction. Visitors walked right past our tools and materials, watching the exhibition take shape in real time — a rare behind-the-scenes experience for museum guests.

Fun fact: Thor Heyerdahl was every bit as wild as his legend suggests — the man sailed a raft across the Pacific mostly to prove a point. Building an exhibition worthy of that kind of audacity felt fitting.

🎶 Saarde ma ei saandki
Tulin Kesselaiul maha🎶

Inspired by NUBLU's ode to the tiny islet, our team traded the mainland for Kesselaid this year for our summer days retreat — and closed out the season by truly unplugging. Phones away, feet in the sand, nothing but nature and good company for the last weekend of summer.
We spent our days roaming the islet, diving into some spirited games, and winding down in the sauna (as any good Estonian retreat demands). 🔥
A perfect send-off to summer — already looking forward to what's next!

⭐Meet Monika Normann, our new Procurement Specialist! We're delighted to welcome her to the our team, and we sat down with her to find out a bit more about who she is, where she's coming from, and what she's looking forward to.

🐕Monika describes herself as a dog person, a foodie in her own small way, a big music lover, and someone who loves art and culture. She brings a wealth of relevant experience to her new role: she previously worked as a public sector procurement officer, and before that spent years in the private sector within road construction, first as a design engineer and later as a project manager.

👏Please join us in giving Monika a warm welcome to Motor!

✏️ Happy new school year, Estonia!

President Alar Karis opened the year at the newly formed Tallinn College of Technology — created by merging several of Tallinn's vocational schools, with the aim of helping Estonia's economy run at full strength. We're proud to have made the sign for their building, and it feels great to see it greeting students on their very first day.

Wishing every student the courage to learn, the drive to push through the hard parts, and pride in the trade they're building. Head uut õppeaastat!
