    The Essentials The label carries her name and her family line. Asked what draws her to the work, she points first to origin: "The place where I was born. Then my inner wish to work in harmony with nature and the seasons. But keeping a traditional cultural good alive is also very important to me, doing something for nature and our landscape." That practical and cultural charge shapes the craft. "Finally, I am fascinated by creating a product from its source to the final symphony of all the work and thoughts I put into it." Her view of change is plain: "I’m heading that way. Life is lovely precisely because it is not always the same."
