Design
philosophy
The
outset for all my designs is to achieve balance. A balanced
situation creates peacefulness and from this state
it's easier to
create a good product. For me
it's not important whether I keep up with the current
trends and hypes. Still I
am very aware of what happens in
my environment. For
me the atmosphere of an
object is far more important. Whether it
considers
a
piece of furniture or an art piece;
it has to have personality
and soul. If possible I don't
compromise by using
standard solutions. I
try to achieve the balance in my designs for example by
combining opposite themes or materials
and making them work
together. Take for instance the combination of wood and metal. A
combination of opposites can
also be achieved by combining the old with the new which can give an
object a very special look.
