Domestic Monuments: Still Stand 12
Furniture that feels like home: Elefante console table 26
Good design is like a good story. It has rhythm, cadence, and just when you feel comfortable, a small twist appears. It's that gentle tension, that slight discomfort, that keeps you hooked, like reading a novel when you know something is about to happen, and you can't stop reading.
Without tension, when everything is too perfect, you disconnect and forget. My work lives in that tension between emotion and motion, forms that are felt as much as seen, subtle anchors in the everyday. It's in that balance where objects become more than function.
Great design grabs you, moves you, and forces you to look twice. And when you finally get it, it leaves you with a sense of satisfaction, but still craving more.
Giving form to feelings: Still Stand 22
I see every table as a pedestal. In a gallery, a pedestal supports art, something valuable. A dining table or coffee table does the same thing. It holds meals, gatherings, the rhythm of family life. At home, you put your life on a table.
Why would I treat one with more respect than the other?
