I am inspired by techniques in traditional crafts, so that comes out in my work. I always try to work with new materials and try to incorporate graphic elements in my designs. I like to work with contrasts.

The projects I create are the result of an accumulation of different ideas and are inspired by my needs to furnish my apartment! I get inspired when I travel. I like to take the train or the plane and just look outside for hours, looking at the patterns, getting inspired by the mix of colours, watching the light passing through threes and creating interesting shadows. I try to think of contrasting materials, or mixing a pattern and a material.

I studied in architecture, and one of my inspirations is the minimalist Swiss architecture movement, for the clarity of the shapes and honest use of materials. In the object world I really like the work of the Bouroullec brothers; I like their passion for materials, their use of colour and their wide range of products. I like the ‘’studio’’ aspect of their work, lots of sketches, models and prototypes. To see them work is really inspiring.

What I am most proud of is having a series of objects that are coherent both on their own and as part of a bigger collection. I am fortunate to have tools and technology available to me, and so I have had been able to make limited edition objects that have grown into a collection over the past few years.
