We found the solution in the novel “The Old man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway that describes this journey in a most explicit and accurate way. The journey of the old man to the open sea is the bright representation of the pathway of our agency through the raging waves of difficult years. We drew parallels with the man not having any catch for the last 84 days with the tough and “desperate” days that we also went through during those years.

The arrogance of Santigo’s (the old man) younger years, where he was “el campeón”- the champion, is now transformed into humility, maturity and apprehension that he is standing before Someone bigger than himself and his destiny and victory is not dependent on himself alone.

Likewise, we are humbled by the years of hardships and endless struggle, understanding that real victory and triumph is the one over ourselves, over our fears and over our own failures.

The compassionate love and respect of the old man towards the sea and his deep appreciation of everything surrounding him symbolizes our passion towards our work, towards design and Nature – the infinite source of our inspiration. Everyone needs to find something worth fighting for, and we found ours. We love what we do and that encourages us to wake up every day and continue that battle with love, dignity and respect. We strive for new challenges and achievements, for better and higher standards, creating beauty and aiming to make a change in the world. We respect the challenges we face as the old man respects his challenges, which is the guarantee of our success.
