This isn’t a furniture catalogue This isn’t a furniture catalogue. It’s a declaration. A profession of love for the untamed. Because we believe in the wild beauty that knows no rules. In the magic of derringdo. It’s a full-throated YES to boundless one-of-a-kind-ness and eclecticism in an age of deliberate uniformity. A provocation, then? Maybe. It’s a manifesto for a perspective that offers both freedom and security: the art of fearlessly being oneself. Longings can’t be kept under lock and key. So why put ourselves in a box? Daydreamers, some might call us. Rightly so, to be honest. We’re hungering for a reality that not only accepts but encourages dreaming. From big ideas to ready-made plans or a small ray of sunshine in the here-and-now: the stuff of dreams is all about emotions. Could we even say… idealism? Almost seems so, doesn’t it? But most importantly of all: it’s a commitment to our values. We’re not, in fact, furniture makers. We create beguiling and bewitching worlds, which come to life here in our Gensingen workshop and in every place graced with their presence. Our inspirational input comes from the arts, far-flung places, a yearning for the unknown – transmuted into a treasured safe haven. Escapism? Nice catch. But we’d call it aspiration. We’re seeking a new standard that renders the rest obsolete. Those taking the plunge into this new world can experience the contrast between letting go and finding one’s feet, between weightlessness and solidity. Technical competence alone isn’t enough to accomplish the subtle creature-comfort details, the structurally complex upholsteries and the lush aesthetics of our True Characters. The eye needs to see far beyond the plain and palpable. Every design is a new creative venture, an expression of audacity and tenacity – an unwavering commitment – that once again lets us push back the boundaries. The precision needed to achieve this is only possible thanks to our virtuoso team, whose workmanship – the tip of an iceberg of centuries-old artisanry – produces results that even terms like ‘premium’ barely do justice to. From foam to wood to yarn, we hand pick the highest-quality materials we can find. The coverings are sourced from our selected partner manufactories. Every detail an assertion of devotion. Every seam a token of the mastery of one’s craft. Every creation a promise: human endeavour knows no limits here. A fact, not a suggestion. And a manifesto for courage, for freedom and for eclecticism. Our pieces aren’t the sum of their parts but the product of our passion. Not off a production line but from inventive minds and surpassingly skilful hands. Not for target markets but for individuals. We want rooms that transform the everyday into adventure, into safe havens and a mise en scène for self-expression. So: we’re eccentrics? That’s missing the point. For us, it’s all about intensity.
