Ria is Filipina and Yiouri is Cypriot, one studied design and the other architecture. They met in London in the 1980s where they both worked for the designer John Stefanidis. Few years later they decided to achieve (to fulfil) their dream by creating their first collection of furniture and by showing it in Paris. Success was instantaneous : the Crillon placed an order for the apartments of this luxury hotel, Neiman Marcus and Barney’s show them in New York City. They settled in the Rue du Bac and since then never stopped creating furniture very inspired by Art Deco for which they have no limits concerning the choice of materials that they use, like at that time : rare woods, crocodile, python, cobra or ostrich skin, but also horn or mothers-of-pearls.

The three associates of Rosebud met when they were working at Christian Tortu, so we can trust their creativity and their knowledge.

Writing paper, smart, poetic or funny notebooks to write our favorite spots, to stick our photos or our souvenirs. Wrapping papers and ribbons are so pretty that they would almost stop us from opening our gifts. There are also Nô Dolls, pillows for our wing chairs, bags and cuddly toys for more beautiful dreams, all those little “things” that a Germanopratine would not be able to do without.
