Process
From raw material to object, from object to atmosphere.
Rendering is used as support and demonstration, not as the starting point of production.
Pieces are made in the studio or with trusted workshops, then often assembled by the designer.
The laboratory becomes a narrative place where each object can be explained through story, material and client need.
Light is the pivot around which life grows. A thought that becomes warmth.From the Montserrat 1968 philosophy archive
