Careful art-historical enquiries and a great love in details are the beginning of every line.The academically trained artists let guide themselves by their passion for unique design for lines both inspired freely and tributing some of the most famous decorative artists of the modern age.From the idea over first outlines until the introduction of a new line it lasts usually about two years.
