In the year 2002 designer Jens Thoms Ivarsson and stonemason Mats Nilsson decided to transform uninteresting everyday products into something people would pay attention to. Their ambition was to combine art and design; to mix experience with functionality where the design highlights the idea, and with a combined emphasis on the use of durable materials and high quality craftsmanship. Therefore, it is possible for future generations to live and re-live an experience through the sculptures and products designed and created by Thoms & Nilsson.
