Our creations themselves are not simply designs with individual origin. Minoar is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions to genesis. The element which gives life to design itself is a segment of the lasting impact of occurrence the same way as the ‘The Butterfly Effect’ phenomenon.

Minoár reflects as an undefined outcome of events in the process of creation that touches the indefinable. Our fundamental concept to behold our roots is bound with the gifts of nature – every fiber, leather fragment and precious metal. Of all that, we create artefacts of illusions cultured within colorless forms where each element has a purpose.
