of doing business. We want to put more focus on that and that is why I decided to become a member.” Can you tell us something more about the business activities of Colourama? Colourama is a printing company that we founded in 2005. We develop designs for home textiles. We have a production location in Łódź where we have our printing house. Here we also create our own designs and sometimes purchase the newest trends from external studios. We used to send all our designs for printing to China, but in 2011 we invested in our own digital printers. Digital printing opens a much wider spectrum of possibilities regarding colors, repeat sizes, smaller quantities and, as a result, we can react much more flexibly to the demands of the market.
