  The Silk Road Collection

  Jul 2011 - Feb 2012

  Sales and Marketing Assistant

  While working at The Silk Road Collection I was assisting the company in a wide variety of tasks including allround office administration, sales, marketing, CRM, representation at trade fairs,... The articles of The Silk Road Collection have a story to tell. They have weathered and gone through time and come from an environment with a totally different cultural background. And yet we can effortlessly integrate the various objects, artifacts and furniture into a Western interior, whether it is classic, retro or modern.The collection is often sober in appearance, with lots of earthy tones and an occasional colorful variety. We nurture all antiques and decorations that are authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. Show less
