Design is not pretentious or privileged anymore. It becomes a habit, an integral part of each day.
The modern plant unit, the perfectly trained staff and the flawless technological machinery and equipment make sure for the fast and direct client service, during both delivery and after sales procedure. At the same time, the long experience which has passed to the third generation of the family, is reflected on high quality and finish of the value for money products, always with emphasis on ecology and green practices.
Good design selections have no limits. Every person is different and at the same time ordinary. We all seek for something special but we all share the same worries. It does not matter where we live, design is here to become the “global” connection link among all these people and show that we all must say Yes when it comes to making our lives better. Because it is the only way to become better ourselves.

Contemporary people, contemporary needs. Design is assigned to offer solutions that are addressed to the modern man; no matter how well-educated, experienced, specialized – or not you may be, your need for actual ease and comfort remains the same and urgent. Never before has design been so well-combined with functionality. Daily life has actual issues that need to be solved, issues that are not bound by status, lifestyle or nationality. Design has all the answers required. In design we trust.
