The loft reflects the nature of the business, but also Tom's devotion to the live, work and play urban lifestyle. Passionate about urban living, modern architecture, modern furniture and design, you may find Tom admiring significant design wherever he travels. Some of Tom’s other activities include amateur photography, golf, weight training, travel, as well as enjoying the city landscape while cruising on his "Vespa".
