For exhibitions and sales.

Each is unique.

The keeping of local crafts traditions, traditional patterns and techniques. The goal is to continue and transfer the traditional expression and give these artefacts a place in the contemporary interior and design context. Applied arts and interior artefacts are made with care and thought about material, sustainability and care towards the environment. Practical sustainability lies in the use of something that can be used in generations.
