Article source: BoysPlayNice Ryan Nelson a man born in Chicago USA, worked here and there, moved around the world, ended up in this little hole – the city of Liberec. City that is still not sure whether it´s more German or Czech. He started modest business selling what he knew best. The business was too small to satisfy the great man´s ego. He found a space in 19th century building build as showroom for piano factory. In present owned by hard to talk Italian. It was not cheap neither easy but he got the keys.

He entered a shabby office where three architects sit around their tables. Those three call themselves Mjölk – Swedish word for milk, the origin of a name is a mystery to Ryan. One of three architects who takes care of Ryan is a Ginger.

Can you do it? Ginger: When you´re good at something never do it for free. Ryan: The most important thing in business is honesty, integrity, hardwork… family… never forgetting where we came from. Ginger: What is it that you are selling man?  Image Courtesy © BoysPlayNice – Martin Tůma and Jakub Skokan  Image Courtesy © BoysPlayNice – Martin Tůma and Jakub Skokan Ryan: I am like any other man. All I do is supply a demand. I own my company. And my company sells a product that’s better than the competition at a price that’s lower than the competition. Ginger: We can do that for ya.

Ginger was obsessed with lights and metals and insisted on every piece he designed. Ryan found a contractor to do the hard work and build everything. The contractor was tough enough man, but in this project, it was a different story. He tended to cry and doubt his faith. There was a meeting on the construction site two weeks before opening.
