We partner with various art, music and cultural organisations and take part in festivals and other events. Some of these events don’t consider elderly people either as participants or as spectators. Instead we create actions where they are the leading figures.
We use age as a superpower, empowering the people we work with, recognising their talents and highlighting their uniqueness.
We develop concepts and product ideas which come together as curated collections normally launched every three to four months.
