Growing up, Vanja used to love spending days at her grandma's. She lived in a small village where it was safe to wander wherever (as a kid, that's pretty much all you want). She would fill up an old woven basket with goodies, sit on a bike and look for the perfect picnic spot. On other days, she would plan on building a house using nothing but branches, dried grass and mud (big projects, you know).
 "Once, I made a tiny treehouse where I even managed to sneak in an area rug to cosy up the space. I was so proud of it! Gradually, my bond with nature and design became unbreakable." - Vanja Barbul.
