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.
