They both graduated in 1998 and founded Autoban in 2003 after gaining experience in the field to combine their fields of architecture, interior design, and product development under one name. The duo began developing product designs and launched their first collection in Paris in 2004. Two years later they opened the Autoban Gallery to showcase the best of these designs.
