THE POWER OF MAKING

CRAFT: Designer-craft, digital-craft, designer-artisan and so on is the pivot; mass customizing is the reality.
The world has after all become generous enough to embrace multi solutions.

VALUE IN THE REDUNDANT: Gardens with basic plants, also out-door spaces benefiting from high performance materials, all crafted environments,
are the new dwellings. Collecting, exposing, esteem what was once redundant.

DEMOCRATIC: Objects are made locally after downloads from designers, or inspirational blogs; this way manufacturing is spread all over the world;
transport of materials and products (carbon footprints) is minimized; products become accessible and democratic.

This is our interpretation of how all this could be manifest, on the interior scene, through our themes: HOMESTORE, MULTI FANCY and  MISTICAL.
