It’s no wonder that designer Nick Ross—of the Stockholm studio that bears his name—often references historical events. For inspiration, he says, “You can’t beat a good BBC documentary. If the title starts with ‘Mysteries Of…’ then you already have my attention.” His Cararra marble White Lies series transmits a postmodern interpretation of Greek and Roman sculpture, while an ancient trade route is the jumping-off point for his Baltic Gold shelving. Though his immediate plans are hazy—expect new work, potentially lighting, in stone and metal—Ross would someday like to collaborate with a team of archaeologists: “I have no idea how it would work, but it could be a lot of fun, kind of a speculative history project.”

The history of Cleo is almost a mirror image of the German history over the same time period. The foundation in 1945 can be seen as a symbolic act of Germany's rebirth after the World War.In 1945, just after the World War II, the company founder Mr. Wurach started producing pens in a back yard garage. The production took place with basic tools, out of material leftovers and the employees used to make fun of their situation by comparing themselves to the "Ancient Egyptians". While searching for an appropriate name for the first pens collection this idea of "the Ancient Egyptians" was taken up by Mrs. Wurach and the first collection was named Cleopatra. Later this was shortened to CLEO. The international breakthrough came with the launch of the technical drawing instruments SKRIBENT, which were sold in all coutries of the former Eastern Europe. Entire generations of engineers found Skribent an indispensable tool in their everyday professional life and still remember this series very well. Today Cleo has become a synonym for manufacturing (by hand, hence "hand-made") top quality pens.

In 1999 Melina received a small felt rug from her husband, Dodd, after he returned from a trip to Iran. Her fascination with it led to a quest to find the people who made them. In 2002, Melina and Dodd Raissnia traveled to Tehran in search of this obscure tradition with no information that would dictate where or how this journey would begin. That is because the felt rug tradition in Iran, though ancient, has remained undocumented and almost unknown by the international textile and rug community. Through this curiosity, Peace Industry was born. Melina was making peace flags and selling them from her tiny art gallery in Point Reyes, California, a coastal village located an hour north of San Francisco. As the business expanded to include the felt rugs, Peace Industry moved next door to a larger location and then relocated to the present space in San Francisco. The name, Peace Industry, stuck.
