In more than 10.000 square meters of production space, they combine fabrics, leather, metal, natural and composite wood into beautiful high quality products.

Specialized in high and stable quality (reclamation rate under 1 %). They are active in taking responsibility for Lithuania's unemployment situation.

After several visits it became clear that these people where the right for us, as they had best conditions and the quality was hard to match elsewhere.
