In recent years, the design industry has tended to focus on hiding structures and maximizing the size of smooth, seamless, and flat surfaces - tiles, door fronts, work tops. This can sometimes lead to a lack of clarity in how things are meant to be used (tip-on doors). From an emotional standpoint, these 'endless' smooth surfaces can represent a kind of post-human, technology-oriented approach.
However, I wanted to create something more traditional that is closer to human-centered design, which is grounded in honesty and the way things are meant to be used. I wondered if I could reinterpret the traditional frame-and-panel structure in a new, contemporary way while keeping its original additive building approach and the merge of form and function - since the door handle is a decorative, profiled frame structure.
My furniture is all about the past, humans, craftsmanship, materials, and respect. It serves to reframe our everyday lives in a more conscious way, paying attention to the details and our roots. There are many configurations available, with different sizes and doors. The inner panels can be made of wood, glass, metal plates, or natural stones.
