For Commissions Collaborations and Work Opportunities

An experimental practice where handmade intelligences, inherited technique, and advanced fabrication operate as one continuous field of design.

The projects are not isolated works, but fragments of a continuous record of making. Moving between furniture, interiors, buildings, and exhibitions, each project is less a finished object than a moment in an ongoing negotiation between the maker and what is made. Read the works not as a sequence of solved problems, but as an accumulation of tests where form is delayed, adjusted, or undone in order to keep the conversation between maker and matter visible.

Selected Works

A selection of completed projects ranging from professional, independent and academic work across architecture, interiors, objects and exhibitions.
