The Interview :
How you had the idea of your business?
After several years of working as an architect I felt drained and frustrated. I needed a change. I was lucky to collaborate with one of the best interior architects Gregory Gatserelia who helped me to discover the world of design and art and believed in my talent. He asked me to design furniture for his clients and this is how it started. For the first time I felt that this is what I love and what I’m passionate about. With time and more happy clients and more orders I realized it was a time to establish my own business.
