I can still visualize my grandfather's worn green leather chair.
We affectionately referred to him as Opa. Seated in this chair, he dispensed wisdom, shared laughter, and listened attentively. Picture books were explored, with a grandchild or two sitting on each arm, and stories of life abroad were recounted. Be it a serene cup of tea, a family birthday, or the yearly holiday celebrations, Opa was always found in his chair, cigar in hand.
Years later, I am struck by how much a simple piece of furniture or accessory can become so meaningful. Though the chair may not have graced the covers of the latest interior design magazine, Opa’s chair conveyed a sense of welcome and stability. It was an integral piece of my grandparents’ home.
With this understanding, I was motivated to establish Hugo and Company. Our focus is on emphasizing meaningful design and crafting living spaces for seniors in transition that are both aesthetically pleasing and profoundly personal and enriching.
With love,
Monica
Founder of Hugo and Company
