What do a chef and a cabinet maker have in common?
They share the same passion for transforming raw materials into something radically different, have the talent to see a potential in this transformation, and the ability to do it flawlessly. But the key aspect is creating something special and personal for someone else, in order to arouse an emotion.
What are the key ingredients of your creations?
In terms of materials, I only work with the best quarter sawn wood, aesthetically impeccable and more stable, and my key ingredient is the idea. Wood must serve the idea, not vice versa.

Where do you find your inspiration?
I only work on commission and my clients know that I am not just a maker of functional objects: they rely on my artistic approach and I try to interpret their personality, in order to create objects that are appealing to them.
If you create for yourself, what does excite you?
I like secrets, multilayers, hidden compartments and mechanisms. I am also fascinated by mechanised pieces and I would like to have more spare time to investigate this aspect in the future.
