Merle built Edelstein — a stone factory that's anything but ordinary. Luxury materials, complete design solutions, and an uncompromising focus on sustainability — trusted by architects and interior designers across Estonia.
In 2016 she was named 🏆 Pärnumaa Mother of the Year — because building a business and raising a family aren't opposites. They're both acts of creation. Merle brings an entrepreneur's eye and proof that you don't have to choose between ambition and family.

Мерле створила Edelstein — кам’яну фабрику, яка зовсім не є звичайною. Розкішні матеріали, комплексні дизайнерські рішення та безкомпромісний фокус на сталому розвитку — їй довіряють архітектори та дизайнери інтер’єру по всій Естонії.
У 2016 році вона була відзначена 🏆 як «Мати року Пярнумаа» — адже побудова бізнесу й виховання родини не є протилежностями. Це обидва — акти творення.
Мерле привносить у журі підприємницьке бачення та є живим доказом того, що не потрібно обирати між амбіціями та сім’єю.
