my philosophy I think that design has to support function, that's why I always try to realize simple and functional designs... designs for the living and not only for the looking! I often try to use new materials, but sometimes I'm only inspired by the nature and the pleasure of thinking a new shape and maybe more functional shape for an object. I like working with different materials, I use my experience, my knowledge on materials and their processing as the base. Exploring new fields and applications through the research of new solutions, technologies and innovative materials is a source of design pleasure. All these concepts can also be found in my interior design works. I believe in my work, I do design enthusiastically and I like what I’m doing, trying to always have a critical ability.
