Has worked in all areas of design
“Democratic design” – High quality pieces at accessible prices, not restricted to the elite

"Freedom is the only style. That is why I never speak about beauty or beautiful products but 'good products'. Nowadays, we have so many challenges; it is not really a priority to care for beauty. The only way for us is to focus on an ethic and ecological behaviour."
