TEXAS CITY
Inspiration
A strongly retro theme, influenced by the 1950s (James Dean) and life in rugged Texas, small townships out in the sticks, but sultry, sexy and romantic as well. Its a powerful, young, sportive theme, but at the same time challenging and appealing. It evokes dust, vintage, faded non-colours, and a renaissance of denim indigo.

RAIN FOREST
Inspiration
The impenetrable tropical rainforest, where nature rules in all its purity and glory. An unknown world of water, the beauty of insects, reptiles, fishes, alongside the closed-in primary forest vegetation: exotic and wonderfully rich colours, the shapes of birds and fishes. Its a subtle span of materials and colours, with refined and unexpected elements; hot, slithery and glossy.
