Design is a buzzword, increasingly confused with other words such as style and invention. We forget that design means, first of all, to project. In all companies, especially in SMEs, design culture is a strategic challenge. In everyday life, to be able to recognize the real design is increasingly complex. Thanks to the driving force of Design, you can create unexpected opportunities, at work and in everyday life. Design is passion, culture, method and innovation, Design is the tool to challenge difficulties of this new millennium. We want to express our design experience with simple, iconic objects, because design is for everyone.
