"I love my home town Martin (Slovakia) very much, but as a designer, I can’t gain a foothold there. In Slovakia, everything is really fossilised and there is little openness for young designers who could bring in a breath of fresh air. During my studies at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (UMPRUM) I got to know Prague and its design scene. Here things are on the move!" - Boris Klimek
