Technological Emotions
– innovative materials in an emotionally appealing design

A stylistic direction with an impact that is visionary, sophisticated and sensitive at the same time. Ex-
perimentation with new technologies has created an impression not of cool pragmatism, but of a design
that appeals to the emotions. It includes some uncommon combinations of materials and products, e.g.
paper and linen. Other elements that speak to the senses are super-thin films, soft textile structures and
innovative visual accents.
