The inventor - To develop things that make life exciting – that’s the inventor’s challenge. He works on concepts that combine function and fun, as well as wellness and pleasures. His yearning takes him to undiscovered worlds full of marvels and adventure. He loves to try new things, a character trait that has a decisive influence on the design process. Fabrics are literally brought to life: they sway, flutter and grow as flowery ornaments – extremely sensuous and tactile. The inventor experiments with extraordinary upholstery fabrics, openwork weaves and meshwork. Foamed textiles create an airy depth and give rooms and furniture a new look. Technical veils, iridescent films and latex are also used. Feather-light constructions play with light and reflections. Lively colours ensure extraordinary contrasts and awaken curiosity.

The geologist - The nature lover appreciates and protects the earth and all its treasures. He researches into them down into the deepest layers and travels on a journey of discovery to find the unknown and unexpected. He knows the quality and origins of a product. He is fascinated by the irregularities of geological surfaces. In his environment, natural structures are upgraded by colourful marl aspects and winding, viral patterns, as well as rough graininess, bark-like textures and rustic leather, skin or natural cork. Blotch effects bring otherwise sober surfaces to life. Broken, mysterious brightness flashes from the materials. The colour series reflects the enigmatic dark side of nature. Intensive colours are rounded off by shades of virulent intensity and metallic lustre.
