At LUMU we appreciate the purity of the tradition.
And we also appreciate tradition with a touch of irreverence.
Because it is important to think differently, our tradition does not have to be seen only as something old-fashioned, or only for less educated
the elders. On the contrary.
The creative spirit makes room to look at what is ours, reinvent the traditional and create something new,
with a touch of modernity as well.
For a tradition with more color and more flavor
