“The Design Academy Eindhoven where I studied is known as ‘The House of Concept’. You learn to think about objects as being steeped in a history. Subconsciously, I think I have kept that narrative mindset. But it is obvious that over the course of a career, one’s spirit evolves. I am more flexible now in my way of thinking about design; but the fact remains that, even for an industrial project, this dimension of the narrative remains omnipresent, even if it is only implicit.” Such is the case with the “

integrated mirrors, an element that he had already thought about, but which took him a number of years to achieve. “The concept of travel and adventure is ingrained in all of us. My lines, especially when enriched with new pieces, gives free rein to multiple interpretations.” This explains why they continue to inspire and fascinate people, including those who collect them. The collections are both current and sustainable.
