Salomon told me he desired to create a furniture selection, I claimed, I possess a concept, since I had only bought some Chapo parts for my very own kitchen area project.

The collection was given birth to making use of the intarsia strategy, a traditional technique in the fashion business, particularly along with fur and shearling.
