" Our philosophy in the creation of this exclusive handmade collection could be summed up by quoting Francois-Henri Pinault: “ Luxury is the meeting between a vision of the future which surprises and a comprehension of the past which reassures.  This is how we have created and conceived this collection of unique pieces. The design will surprise and you will be delighted with the highest quality." - NODUS

The diversity of techniques, aesthetics and conceptual approaches gives a wide palette for everyone to love.
