  • Since 2023
In the summer of 2020, David and Vanessa moved into their first apartment together in Graz. Inspired by their shared love of music, they designed the Minerva side table made from a snare drum, symbolizing their deep connection and the power of music. This piece of furniture caused a stir among family and friends, including Vanessa's stepmother Maria, who is a jazz lover.

As a gift for Maria, they designed a unique trumpet lamp, which met with great interest. This is how Are & Be was born, a company inspired by the love of music. Each piece of furniture tells a unique story, in which 20% of the proceeds are donated to a musician chosen by the buyer. This background gives the piece of furniture a personal value that goes beyond aesthetics and functionality.

The 'Are & Be Original 3' collection is aimed at interior designers, hoteliers and music lovers to express their passion for music in style. David believes music makes the world a better place, just as it did for him and Vanessa. With Are & Be he is creating a future for artists and designers around the world in which the label represents a stepping stone on their path to success.
