Another piece of this collection is show case Tulip, which is linked, by its shape, to the library and night table. Its design was created on the requirement of the same named hotel in Bratislava.

​

At this collection, there are shown possibilities in furniture manufacturing  by using different veneers and intarsies and in diverse shapes of each piece.
