Furniture

For a number of years I worked at different housing companies and organizations and studied the housing norms and standards throughout Europe. I found many limitations for housing designs that were simply taken for granted. So I decided to design and make furniture,
autonomously and without perimeters, to allow myself the freedom of being a “real” artist. At the end of the 70’s and the beginning of the 80’s I started to design and produce furniture.

I started with little things that I could make myself with my own tools. Everything I made my way without the excuse of any norms or standards: I started with a little table, a kind of coffee table, and after that some chairs, cupboards, and lamps.

It was fun to make those pieces in small series and present them at furniture shows. Later designs were sometimes meant to be functional furniture while others served as project installations in public spaces.
