What was your inspiration?
In one typical rainy Dutch weekend, we decided to watch the new medieval fantasy series Games of Throne based on George R.R. Martins book A song of Ice and Fire and series Camelot. Games of Throne: the story about love and hate, honor and betray. Kings, queens, knights and ladies fights for the throne and all means are allowed to reach the goal. Camelot: very different story about King Arthur and Guinevere. And there I found my inspiration: dark natural earth colors, bronze and exclusive pearls, but still heavy and robust design combined with the finest touch.
