Sisters Jennifer and Melanie Nölken were always close, and growing up they had aspired to open their own company together. Immediately after finishing university the pair decided to found Kunstschule, an interior design agency where they could share their creativity with their local community. Several years later the business was flourishing, so Jennifer and Melanie made the decision to add a boutique to their studio space where they could sell beautiful homewares that sat in harmony with their interior design style.
