They draw their inspiration from sketches and drawings, from travels.

They draw their inspiration from sketches and drawings, from travels.
It’s a mix of know-how, with a mastery of several possible fields: embroidery, assembly, binding, silk-screen printing… It’s a real meticulous work, to perfect an object, by hand, taking the time it takes.
Each portrait is intelligently designed, with a love of a job well done.
We fell under the spell of their sensitive and poetic universe. We like the way they look at the world and embellish it, with modesty and accuracy. Their portraits are objects that are part of time, an object that we never tire of looking at.
