2 SOPHIA s New concept collection Enjoy Thinking Everybody agrees that life is not so easy today and that the future looks uncertain. At times like these, we all feel the need to make our life at home better, more comfortable and peaceful and we look back to the past with nostalgia, at all those things that have remained constant and beautiful and true. That is why Nostalgia is a strong deco tendency today. And that is why we chose Ancient Greece constant, beautiful, authentic and true as a source of inspiration for our new brand. So our creative team designer Alexandra, family, friends and co-workers got together to see how to give a fresh look to Nostalgia. We aimed to design unique objects that would help us set up our own pleasant private world, to help us tell our own personal home story. 3
