Smith keeps up to date constantly about design.
Both meet in Minorca (Balearic Islands) in the summer of 1985 for the "International Meeting Votaries Gin" and are in the extraordinary euphoria of these evenings where are born the ideas to start the project and the artisanal production of lamps of furnishing.
Their anticonformist spirits choose road of an almost country, typical peace of that which it lived out of the stress and the pressures of sales turnover, a road which evokes distances preindustriels and which refers to a made work of hands and a brain.
