WORKING WITH ARTISANS

“I love collaborating with artisans—where ideas take shape in skilled hands, becoming something unique and enduring that no technology can replace.”

Creative forces

“My collaboration with artisans is both a creative indulgence and an education. I’m endlessly fascinated—and admittedly envious—of their mastery of creating something from scratch.

In a world too eager to consume the new, I also find satisfaction in utilising what already exists: pieces that can be reimagined, repurposed, or restored. Their worn edges and quiet patina carry a depth of character that’s hard to replicate from a factory finish.”
