he/him

As an industrial designer, I’m drawn to the balance between form and function. I approach each project with care, considering not only how something looks, but how it lives, moves, and feels in use. Whether designing garments, bags, furniture, or lighting, I aim to create work that feels resolved where aesthetic strength and practical purpose exist in quiet harmony. Intuitive and hands-on in my approach, I move fluidly across design disciplines, allowing material, scale, and context to shape each outcome.

ORO desk

The ORO Desk is a sewing workspace designed to bring beauty and functionality into balance. Combining highly organised storage, integrated internal compartments, and a recessed sewing machine system, the desk is built around the real workflow of making, creating a space that feels intuitive, efficient, and deeply connected to the creative process. Every element has been carefully considered to support moments of focus, allowing fabrics, tools, threads, and sketches to exist in harmony without overwhelming the workspace. The desk encourages a calm and fluid rhythm of working, where movement between preparation, sewing, and finishing feels natural and uninterrupted. Its warm material palette and softened forms give the piece a quiet presence within the home, transforming a practical workstation into something more personal and inspiring. Designed for makers who value both craftsmanship and atmosphere, the ORO Desk becomes more than a functional object; it acts as a dedicated creative environment that nurtures concentration, organisation, and the enjoyment of the making process itself.

The Whiplash Desk Lamp

Born from the flowing “whiplash” lines of Art Nouveau, the Whiplash Desk Lamp embodies movement, softness, and quiet expression. Its sculptural form draws on the natural rhythms of the movement, with subtle references to the warm glow of historic Parisian cafés where artists once gathered to create. The lamp casts a gentle, intimate light that shapes an atmosphere of calm focus and creative stillness. A softly tilting shade and dimmable glow allow the light to adapt to different moods. More than an object, it becomes a quiet companion, nurturing imagination and enriching the workspace.
