Are there other creative fields that

inform your work? Right now, I’m

really into dystopian science fiction.

But I would say film in general.

What does your work address?

I like to think my work speaks to our

need for meaning in the objects around

us. I think that storytelling is such an

important human trait, and adding this

into objects can give them added value

in some way. If I’m honest, I think that

objects that exist for purely functional

reasons are rather banal.

How would you describe your

aesthetic? An archaic expression in a

contemporary context.

What is the most challenging aspect

of your practice? Never being able

to leave work at work. My mind is

constantly processing ideas.

And what is the most satisfying?

When an idea finally works out.

What is great design?

Rare.

How do you want your design legacy

to read? Integrity is very important

to me. I like to stay away from easy

options or something that exists

purely for monetary reasons.

What are your favourite objects that

you did not design? Anything by Scott

Burton. He had such an amazing sense

of form, scale and materiality.

What is the best piece of design

advice you have been given?

It’s all about context.

What are your ambitions for the

future? To keep moving forward.
