His design approach is a research of the product’s synthesis. From this synthesis, various sceneries emerge, where the functional, aesthetic and emotional elements interact with one another.
The aim of his projects is “intervening with a single gesture”, to create a new essence.
The presence of his products integrates in daily life with balance.
