“My life journey has a way of guiding us toward our true passions. Collectible design truly liberates me from the constraints of commercial viability, allowing me to create objects that hold intrinsic value. My aspiration to connect with like-minded individuals—to form a “tribe” that shares my values—is commendable. Inspiring and being inspired, learning to harness the wild energy bestowed upon us by the universe—it’s a beautiful pursuit”
Objects possess an intriguing allure, blending boldness with tenderness to evoke a sense of mysticism. Consider the minimalist floor lamp, X. Its captivating design ensnares your gaze, compelling you to linger. As warm light cascades upon its stainless satin surface, it appears to awaken, yet simultaneously exudes an air of detachment and coolness.
The interplay of bold and wild forms within this lamp generates an unsublimated sexuality—accentual yet functional. It beckons contemplation, inviting viewers to explore the delicate balance between allure and practicality.
