WHO WE ARE
We are friends, we are family; and we work together. Building a community is crucial to create a space of trust and transparency. Set between Berlin and Budapest, our joined force is what makes us solid; we motivate, inspire each other and welcome customers to be part of the project. Our personal stories, diverse backgrounds and unique personalities are the principal founding inspiration for LILI LANTOS.
LILI LANTOS
founder
Lili was born in Budapest, in 1988, a year before the fall of the Berlin wall. An event which lead into an era filled with liberty, space, independence, possibilities and free will, in the Eastern-Block. It is these values which have determined her upbringing and personal point of view to this present day. In a fast paced world, LILI LANTOS’ vision is to pair heritage, quality and ethical values with high-end design. The aim is to create an honest product; a product that would last a lifetime and encourage healthy alliances.
ROLAND KUNOS
creative director
Roland Kunos was born in Szolnok, Hungary, and graduated from University as a photographer in 2013. From a very young age Kunos began developing his love for art and through this subsequently sought a deeper understanding of the world around him. Throughout the years as his development as an artist himself has progressed, Kunos finds that one of the most important aspects of his work is to find a palpable connection between the artwork and the artist. He strongly believes that artwork would be a direct reflection of what we ourselves feel and experience. Kunos believes that one should create something timeless, essential and pure, whilst maintaining a little mystery which forces the audience to experience self-reflection and some level of internal debate.
IDA OKHOLM
modelist
Ida was born in the countryside of Denmark. A place completely isolated by ocean and forest. The early contact with nature have given her a very high textile sense and understanding of for example textures, colours and shapes. The quiet life in the countryside was never enough. As only 17 she moved to the city and the urban life grew on her. Now living in the heart of Berlin and aiming to live and work in a space with sharing and inspiration, but never forgetting her roots and the importance of her life journey.
