A short description of your collection.

My collection comes from the idea to match natural materials, such as wood, ceramic and cork, with glass or steel, expressing my passion for materials contrast. In the last years I’ve been more and more attracted to nordic idea of design: pureness and simplicity of product.

What inspires you?

Inspiration comes from the surrounding influences. I always try to melt shape and function.

Your style in three words

Essential, ironic, fine.

Detail makes a difference... What’s yours?

The ability to renew myself, the curiosity for new assembling and materials, the desire to explore different paths.

Which object do you wish to design?

I would like to measure myself with technology. The strong connection between function between function and aesthetics fascinates me.

If your brand was a song?

Hoppipolla, Sigur Ros.
