sculptures radiate passion and emotion and leave a long-lasting impression. Together William and Annet are responsible for the concept, design, and art-direction of the brand.

The collection includes several series of lighting sculptures as well as tailor-made objects, especially designed for individual clients. With their studio background they make these custom made pieces for an international public as well as for residential projects. They work with creative leading architects and interior designers on special projects for hotels, clubs and restaurants.

Every year they create their new collections of hand crafted lighting sculptures in freedom with fun and passion, never limited by fashion and trends.
