Laser-engraved on crystal glass, slate and wood – each piece one of a kind.
The Vikings carved their stories into picture stones – riders, ships, gods and heroes. We carry that tradition on: finely laser-engraved on fine teak, slate and crystal glass.
Our Atli motif, for instance, tells – like the famous Gotlandic picture stones – an entire heroic saga in a single image.
