Autumn – from dazzlingly beautiful days, with morning mist and cool, clear air, to dull, wet, cold days when it never seems to get properly light. It’s an ideal time to make ourselves cosy indoors and enjoy our home. To create the perfect atmosphere, choose living accessories and porcelain with organic shapes, earthy colours and a relaxed vintage look.
It’s not just top restaurants that impress with striking presentations of their culinary creations, talented amateur gourmets also serve up first class effects on their dining tables at home.

Gifts make us happy – and this is just as true for the giver as it is for the recipient. So we always put a lot of time and effort into the search for the perfect gift. It needs to be original and creative, individual and distinctive. Just like the person we’re buying it for. Because if we can find a gift that matches their personality, we know we’ve got it right.
There are lots of good reasons for special gifts: a wedding, an anniversary, a birthday or a career milestone. And, above all, an exclusive gift is always a sign of the greatest appreciation. So a great deal of thought and care need to go into the selection. We present some exquisite gift ideas that are sure to meet the most discerning standards in terms of design, style and quality.
