Fribourg, Switzerland.
It all started at the local skateshop, a long time ago. We would meet up there every day after school.
There was a couch and a VCR, we’d watch videos and talk about new tricks. It felt good, reassuring.
It inspired comfort. A hOme away from home.
Time has since kept feeding that simple idea:
to offer a piece of hOme to everyone, even when your journey leads you to strange places.
