"I have always liked Pure, you have unique products and you are at the forefront of the new. It is always good to see what is done in the rest of the world, especially in sustainability. For me the most important thing is that products are made with imagination, natural materials and a lot of love. It is fantastic to discover unique pieces on many occasions and see the expression of people who enter a different environment."
