November day

House is veiled in smoky mist,
Life’s compressed, confined.
Only those go out who must:
All we have is mind.

Weight of hand and word is gone,
Gentler every motion.
Man and world are dreaming on,
As in depths of ocean.

We are already in the middle of autumn, in the darker season. Christian Morgenstern describes in his beautiful poem November dayour retreat into the inside: the retreat into our home, but also the retreat into our human inner. It is approaching the end of the year, and we shall be encouraged take the time to slow down, reflect on ourselves and our lives, to reflect on our dreams and visions.

When it gets more unpleasant outside, we make it all the nicer inside. We love to spend relaxing afternoons in front of the fireplace, reading a good book on the sofa or enjoying dinner by candlelight. Always with us: a sheepskin that provides warmth and turnes every corner into a cosy spot.

In November, however, various design markets lure us to the cities. We will also leave our cozy living room this coming weekend in city direction and be guests at Blickfang in Zurich. In our luggage we have a few beautiful new leather objects that have arrived this week from our manufactory: A small but fine collection ofwallets and belts. Our new leather pieces are available in our two colors natural and black.

Now we wish you a wonderful autumn!
