Recent work with veneer developped from an interest in how a thin material can operate simultaneously as surface and structure through processes of cutting, patching, and assembly, where defects are not removed but redistributed. Rather than concealing irregularities, the work treats them as a condition of construction, allowing fragments to remain visible and active.
This approach is informed by a visit to one of the last veneer factories near Paris, which supplies the Mobilier National for the restoration of period furniture, using machines that have shifted from steam to gas to electricity and where tools such as saws are still produced; while maintaining a consistent logic of material efficiency and continuity.
Thanks to @ivan.stefkovic for introducing me to this place and making the visit possible !

We’re excited to introduce a new aluminum veneer chairs.
After being shown at @collectiblefair , it will be presented again at @alcova.milano at the Baggio Military Hospital from the 20-26th of April during Milan Design Week 2026 !
The castings were produced in Seoul and finished in the Netherlands, the work carries our ongoing dialogue between process, texture, and form.

Super happy to share moments from our last exhibition, Days Like This in @vanabbehuis 🏠
Days Like This invites works that respond to these experiential states: diaristic pieces, atmospheric studies, and intuitive gestures. The theme welcomes interpretations that explore how design emerges from the lived texture of specific moments. Rather than presenting design as detached from daily life, this exhibition embraces its entanglement with ordinary time, with drift, interruption, repetition, and the quiet intensities that make one day feel different from another. Participants are encouraged to approach the theme personally or conceptually, using the ordinary as a site of reflection and creative potential.
