L without Limits

A simple L–shape (single and double), in a creative play, offers unlimited possibilities. Light and shadow, both challenging in every perspective, enhance the function of the object as table or seating. With just one element, more than hundred variations are built in different shades of white and grey.

Architecture is just a step away.

PRIVATE RESI DENCE ABU DHABI The basic colors of the clay we work with are matching well with surroundings in the Middle- East. Projects like this in Abu Dhabi take years to be realized. A well structured collaboration with a local architectural of f ice is necessar y. A second production facilit y in Ostend (Belgium) has been set up, to suppor t larger projects.
