We did lectures for different universities : UDK Berlin, Burg Giebichenstein Halle, Hochschule Dessau, Bauhaus Universität Weimar, Bahcesehir University Istanbul

We like: clarity, simplicity, intelligence, traditions, idea ping-pong, german functionalism, working on ideas for a long time, knowledge that is not hardened to certainty, people that make things happen.

We think people should own less but better things and so we try to create products with an outstanding usability and top quality. Many of our products are long selling items because we avoid to follow trends. So our products are staying up to date for many years. This is our contribution to sustainability.
