"My approach is guided by a semantic and contextual approach, a functional and uncluttered “Slow Tech”. I look for forms that aim to generate a new way to perceive an object and to use it. In order to achieve this I play both with formal archetypal codes and with effects that are linked to new technologies. My objects fade away behind their function, their essence."
