About

I am an artisan with a rich background in cabinetmaking, interior design and architecture. Throughout my journey, I've seamlessly blended craftsmanship and innovation, valuing the process as much as the final result. This fusion of skills and experiences has molded my perspective, highlighting the significance of adaptability, mindfulness, and a profound connection with the materials I craft.

materialised relations – a meeting between architectural scales

In this project, I have delved into the relationship between myself and a building. Navigating through various scales, from the grand to the intimate, even to the intangible - that which is sensed but not seen. I have explored the inherent value and significance of a place, transitioning from architecture to memories, and further onto interpretation, all guided by the materials. The outcome of this exploration is a set of furniture and art pieces, where the process has been documented in four booklets.
