We listen to our customers – we take on their feedback constantly and look to them. Sometimes our customers ask for a trend, or simply functional design to make their sofa comfier.
3) Out of the creative people you have worked with, who is it that you respect and admire the most?
Being a family business, that is our grounding – our family have been designing sofas for decades, we are the 3rd generation of furniture makers.
