Geschiedenis

Materials and techniques lead the process.
Repurposing construction materials allows me to reduce waste in the design process.

I work with materials hands-on, exploring their constraints and possibilities. A lifelong learner, I constantly experiment with new techniques. Curiosity brings me to uncharted territories and inspires new pieces.

With the help of talented makers and collaborators, I have shaped wood, turned metal, polished stone, cut leather and so on. I juxtapose materials to best highlight their texture and shape, composing pieces with great attention to detail.

"Inspired by the places we live and work in, I design timeless pieces that tell a story.That story belongs to the people using my designs everyday, making it their own.I see objects and spaces in relationship to each other, which is why I love designingfor a specific location in mind, for the people using it.The results are minimal and adaptable yet significant objects and spaces that last."
