Maker's Quote
I use know-how of old materials and historic expertise to inform my designed pieces. As a designer, I am very comfortable with historic pieces as well as modern artworks. Perhaps it is my background in interiors, combined with my conservation studies in London, that make me very comfortable with both antiquity and modernistic pieces.
