About the project

The Idea

Let’s be honest.

These days, it’s easier to like a stranger’s Instagram story than to have a proper conversation with the person sitting 50 centimetres away from you, eating moussaka.    

The scenario is often like this: we’re all at the table, but not quite. One person holds a fork whilst scrolling through TikTok with the other hand.

Another is picking at their plate, lost in thought. A third decides to be sociable after all, but the attempt at conversation feels more like an interrogation: 

  — How was your day? — Fine. — Anything new? — Nothing. — Did you pay the electricity bill? — Yes.   

If you’re at home with young children, the ‘intellectual’ conversations mainly revolve around: ‘Do you want some more?’, ‘I’m not eating this, I want a slice of bread!’ and ‘Watch out, your sleeve’s in your plate!’    

We believe that food is just the occasion, and people are the meaning. We’ve got some brilliant ideas to liven up your time at the table, because laughter and stories you’ve never heard before can turn out to be the tastiest seasoning.   

Now imagine the difference: Instead of “How’s work?”, you ask your friends: “Which two songs do you think are playing on repeat in hell?”. 

Or instead of asking your child “How was school?”, you surprise them with the question: “How would you describe Mum in one word?”.   

Tired of the routine of mealtimes—cooking, serving, washing up—and wondering how to make the most of this time with our loved ones, we created Lafetki.   

These are the only napkins that help you tell stories and get even closer to the people you love. Just pull one out, read the question and get ready for some fun. Because life is too short for boring evenings.   

🌱 More than a product – a social project Lafetki is a project by Odd Minds Foundation. The napkins are packed by people with disabilities, to whom we provide:

  • real work
  • a stable income
  • a sense of belonging
  • opportunities for development

 The Foundation works towards the social integration of disadvantaged children and young people. With this project, we are creating a sustainable model – not one-off assistance, but real employment.  

When you support Lafetki, you are choosing a product with meaning.  

Lafetki are real. The people who pack them are real. However, some of the images in this campaign have been created using artificial intelligence – we used AI to visualise ideas for which we do not yet have footage. We’ll say it straight, because that’s the spirit of Lafetki.

FAQ

What are Lafetki and how do you use them?

Lafetki are napkins printed with conversation questions. Put them on the table like regular napkins — when the conversation stalls, everyone pulls one, reads the question out loud, and it starts on its own. Great for dinners with friends, family lunches and games with the kids. Food is the occasion, but people are the point.

Who makes Lafetki?

At the start, packaging is handled by the foundation's team and the social workers at Center Iris. Once we've established best practices, we'll begin handing parts of the work to people with special needs — so Lafetki also becomes meaningful employment.

What does my support fund?

The money raised goes toward printing the five Lafetki series, registering the trademark and funding the project's outreach (full breakdown in the "Budget" tab). And the profit from Lafetki helps fund additional therapies for children with special needs.

When and how will I get my Lafetki?

Available Lafetki ship right away by courier (Speedy or BoxNow) — you choose the delivery method at the second checkout step. Series still being printed are sent as soon as they're ready.

Will I get a donation certificate?

Yes. For every donation we issue a donation certificate, sent to you by email, which you can use for a tax deduction.
