Expertise
Experience is invaluable
The market for design classics has continued to grow in the past few years. Okay art has grown along with this process for the last 20 years. Our passion for things of beauty as well as our constant curiosity as to their creators have been our incentive to provide excellence. Time-tested design classics belong equally as well to our store of knowledge as new discoveries that match today’s zeitgeist. The history of furniture design from the 1930s till the 1980s appears to have been written long ago, but there is still a lot to be discovered. Scandinavian design, for instance, has only experienced a vintage boom in the last few years.
