Hanna explains,

The idea for my furniture collection was born during a period when I passed a facade covered in scaffolding, day after day. After a while I began to think there was a subtle beauty to it. Inspired by this, the first piece of furniture was created and through studying other things in the same field, I found interesting details and features for more.
