Why, oh why?

 

What motivates us to do what we do?

Both mine and Mr Eclectic Boogaloo's background is steeped in the Corporate World.  On paper, our educational qualifications and our career, so far, gives no clue to how we got to this point.  Sometimes, even we sit here and scratch our heads and think "Wow, how did we get here?".

But deep down we know.  We have always been creative and we have always had a deep respect for good Design.  We have unknowingly made choices in our lives that was always going to lead us to this point.  When we travel we choose destinations that are imbued with great design inspirations.  We were lucky enough to live in Pennsylvania close by to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and be introduced to the clean, functional style of Amish furniture.

We spent a decade living in Europe and with it's rich history it meant that by default we were surrounded by wonderful eclectic design as told through the ages.  In Amsterdam, we lived in a classic canal house surrounded by abstract art.   In England we lived in a suburb surrounded by Art Deco buildings.  And at every point in our lives, we savoured it all up, stored all this information in our little head and hearts until it burst from us.

So we made the conscious decision to join the design community.  To create something that is meaningful, that has substance and that you can forge a connection with.  We made the decision to engage with like minded people and champion the creative community.  We promote the idea that Art and Artisan skills should play a bigger part in our lives and in our home.  And more importantly, we believe that good design is meant to stand the test of time.  We want to give people another unique option in life that can be steeped in high design, be beautifully crafted and yet be sustainable and gentle to the world.  Through connectivity with the past and connectivity with artists and artisans we want to show the world we can be different and make a difference.

Artistry; Connectivity; Sustainability:  These are our core values and what motivates us to create.  What keeps us creating is that simply it makes us smile and we want to make you smile too.
