How did you 3 come together?
Hanna and Michl studied together in Rosenheim. There, they had the first ideas of designing and building special furniture. It took 3 years of development of our ideas and thoughts to get to the point where MINUUK is now. Amelie is Hannas sister and at some point she just fitted in with her good choices of design and her skills.

And how did you get the idea of creating your own company?
We needed a tool to get our ideas out of our minds. We wanted to do our own stuff, in exact accordance with our instructions and view to certain things.
 So we had a free hand to the design, to the implementation and to the sustainability of products.
