SKROSS Managing Partner and Head of Sales & Marketing Sam Gerber added: “TFWA has given us the perfect opportunity to communicate our common plans – an affiliation of a leading brand in high quality travel accessories with this famous Danish consumer industrial designer.”

Jacob Jensen Design Global Design Director Jakob Kjaer Nielsen said the company was honoured to be contributing to SKROSS’s plans to reshape their products.
