It doesn’t happen often in life, but sometimes you meet someone and you know right away: this feels like merging. This happened to us, we became colleagues and soon after that also best friends. Mathematics suddenly didn’t add up anymore; one plus one became three, a recurring transcendence of our years of experience and qualities. This tasted like more, deeper, broader, and unlimited. Result: our high-end interior design studio: Blue Mandarin.
