As part of the design, Gert seamlessly integrated our award-winning Green Agate rug, adding a distinctive touch of artistry and warmth to her interior...
We joined the IIDE fair in Brussels, Belgium, in 2019 together with Gert Voorjans.
Gert Voorjans showcased our stunning masterpiece and cherished family piece, "Garden of Eden," at his booth. He envisioned an inspirational and aspirational theme of the Garden of Eden—abundant, yet not expansive. This contrast created a truly unique space: a Middle Eastern atmosphere, reflecting the origins of the Tree of Life, combined with an “atelier” ambiance where creativity and craftsmanship merge.
Additionally, our Mazandaran poufs were beautifully placed within the space, perfectly complementing Gert Voorjans’ signature eclectic and sophisticated style.
