A Deep Reverence for Nature Woven into Every Handcrafted Creation

OUR STORY

FOR CENTURIES, TRANSYLVANIA CONTINUES TO BE WELL-KNOWN FOR ITS HIGHLY SKILLED CRAFTSMEN. OUR ANCESTORS HAVE USED THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER, TO GENERATE COMFORT AND WELL-BEING. AS PART OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE, THE TRADITIONAL CRAFTS HAVE ALWAYS SHOWN TRANSYLVANIA FOR WHAT IT IS: THE HOME OF AN ETHNIC MIX OF ROMANIANS, SAXONS, HUNGARIANS AND ROMA.

This is why, one of our goals is to keep the manufacturing process close to our homeland and to support the local artisans. We are trying to keep alive the craftsmanship and to encourage small businesses that use traditional methods to produce items that honour their ancestors heritage.

Since very young, we are taught not only to cherish, but also to value everything that Mother Nature is providing us.

THE ECO-CONSCIOUS HERITAGE

We are born and raised in Transylvania, surrounded by lush meadows and charming woodlands. Since very young, we are taught not only to cherish, but also to value everything that nature so generously provides us.

Year by year, we are taking ambitious measures to minimize our impact on the environment and support our beautiful homeland. We are proud that all our premium wallcoverings are made using non-woven substrates containing FSC certified cellulose. This means that we use only materials that have been sourced in environmentally-friendly, social responsible and economically viable manners. The entire printing process, done in our factory uses only eco-friendly water-based inks. When it comes to fabrics, we only choose natural fibres like linen or cotton, all of them being recyclable. Furthermore, starting this year we have removed any plastic component from our wallpaper and lighting packaging and we are in the process of applying this measure to all our range of products.
