I value design that’s allowed to breathe — where not everything is fixed from the start. I'm drawn to forms that emerge through touch, movement and external influence. My process is intuitive, but always conceptually grounded.
In Proximity
Space for quietencounters in public contexts
I'm interested in what happens between things — in space, in motion, in encounter. What began as a simple experiment — pouring molten silver into a can of chickpeas — revealed forms shaped not by intention, but by the voids in between. I developed these negative spaces further: into seating islands for public space. Over time, my perspective shifted. It’s not just about form, but about how people move, meet, and coexist within space. Cities are often efficient, but rarely inviting. My project is a quiet counterproposal: modular forms that hold back, yet create room. They offer retreat without isolation – for children at play, people waiting, or simply being.I imagine these objects becoming part of the urban landscape – not as statements, but as subtle contributors to a social atmosphere. If you look closely, you’ll find the real quality lies in the space between.
