“My way of working is simple: I try to get to the essence of things, eliminating what is superfluous, always with a focus on the human being. I don’t like ‘sculptural’ objects, to admire from a distance. I want my objects to transmit a desire to be touched. Functional quality is a basic requirement I take for granted. On top of it I try to suggest a story, made of memories or sensations, to create that impalpable link between objects and people.”
