5. What was the biggest challenge for your winning project/projects?
The most challenging aspect was creating a unique customer experience that reflected the quality and originality of our products. We had to design a space that was not only functional but also emotionally engaging. We achieved this by using warm-toned natural materials, selecting comfortable furnishings, and creating an intimate and relaxing atmosphere through carefully designed lighting.
6. In an increasingly global world, how do you balance local identity with international trends in your design work?
Our approach to design is a constant balancing act between the global and the local. International trends keep us updated on the latest innovations, allowing us to offer our clients cutting-edge solutions. At the same time, we strive to root our designs in the culture and history of the place, using traditional materials and techniques. In this way, we create designs that are both contemporary and deeply rooted in their context.
