In "Living", furniture designs using interactive technologies and sustainable modular solutions introduce the coming the future. Backprinted fabric partitions light up when walked past and the LCD crystal glass panel, separating areas, transforms into an interactive scenario through the use of electronic effects. The main themes in "Wearing" are simplicity, used materials and colour mix. Simplicitiy is achieved through simple shapes and by focusing on using material in an authentic fashion.
Living: The leather world should offer a multisensory experience with reliefs achieved by milling and dry cleaning effects on light weights, by drumming full grain or emossing on wet-blue, all featuring small, indistinct patterning or vaguely defined colours inspired by reactive semi-vegetable retanning or by the "Flou" effect of silky nubuck for an almost timeless decoration.

Wearing: The use an function of a particular design also play an important role by triggering innovative attitudes. Playing around with colours by choosing, combining and changing hues can create countless options, thus evoking emotions. The main themes includi the following with different qualities and types of leather: Nappa leather for shoes and leather goods, the elegance of Yves Saint Laurent with a tuxedo dress and re-tanned brushed leahter shoes, calves and buffalo calves, vegetable-tanned nubuck leathers drum-dreid for an elegant worn look and both double face and pony furs.
