The Secrets of Down

Meet the Down Expert

What exactly is goose down? Why is it such an exceptional natural material, and what makes it so effective at keeping us warm? 

In this film, down expert Péter Köves takes us inside the world of goose down: from its remarkable structure and natural properties to the history and craft behind this extraordinary material. 

Péter has been part of the world of down for 50 years. He grew up in a family where making down beddings was a way of life: his father was a down bedding craftsman, and from an early age, Péter was surrounded by the craft, learning not only about down, but how to work with it by hand. 

Today, he is one of the most experienced figures in the Hungarian down trade. His knowledge is rooted not only in five decades of professional experience, but in a craft and tradition passed down through generations.
