Consistency

Meeting and listening are the source of all our products. We design their development from an understanding of the resources and constraints of small-scale units with high social and cultural value which are weakened by globalization and industrialization of the economy. Our approach applies to all stages of the process, from the collection of raw materials to the distribution of finished product (raw material selection, process transformation, green transport, distribution, outsourcing, etc.).
It incurs choice of business where the local and global are linked to a search for coherence between the cultural, economical and environmental dimensions.
