Projects
  • Tactile Unities
    Tactile UnitiesThrough this collection I aim to explore the different leather qualities and textures. Experimenting with the thickness and finishing of each leather I discovered the volume and shapes that the leather allows me to create. The inspiration behind the collections is the materials. I wanted to use a material as a guide for the final outcome. Using different leathers gives the bags a very tactile quality which exemplify each of the materials traits. Another starting point was the minimal aesthetic I wanted to achieve in order to let the materials and their surfaces be the focal point of the pieces. Color also played a crucial role in the development of this collection. By using tones of grey which have a steadying effect on other colors and illuminating the softer colors I wanted to create a feeling of pureness and softness. Off whites helped set a relaxed tone of understated elegance and light browns relate to down-to-earth feelings signifying stability, structure and support which are all elements I hoped to capture in the pieces.
  • Solid Connections
    Solid ConnectionsThe aim of this collection is to produce innovative, contemporary high quality products, which incorporate traditional materials in unconventional pairings enabled by modern technology. This project is grounded on a visual interpretation of the materials and having them be the guide of the final outcome. A balance between hard and soft dictated the structure of the artifacts and the product's relation to the wearer.
