What connects us as brands is not only our high quality standards, but also our determination to make a difference. In a joint interview with Vöslauer, ekn founder Noel and Creative Director Marek talk about responsibility, design and why sustainability doesn't stop with materials. Here is a small preview:

Marek, as Creative Head - where do you get your inspiration from and how does it become a tangible design?
That differs greatly! At the forefront is pop culture: music, films, art. That's where the journey starts and I ask myself a lot of questions. Sometimes quite abstract: what would jazz look like as a shoe, sometimes quite rational: what makes a shoe perfect for a hot summer, or quite selfish: which shoe is missing in my wardrobe? Painting is also a great passion for me and my pictures often inspire the color choice of our shoes.
