Behind the Design: Our Process
We believe the most beautiful homes come from a mix of wild imagination and gritty engineering. Step inside our workshop to see how we turn raw materials into functional art.
I am constantly exploring new material possibilities. Here, I discuss the potential of transparent concrete, a material that exists but is rarely used. I believe pushing the boundaries with innovative materials is key to creating truly exciting and unique designs.
A behind-the-scenes look at the upholstery process for a custom dining chair. I work hands-on with skilled craftsmen to ensure every curve, stitch, and joint meets my exacting standards for comfort and quality.
Here is the "Hover" dining table during its construction phase. This view reveals the wooden structure that will eventually be finished to create the conical concrete bases, showing the meticulous process behind achieving a seemingly simple, floating design.
About Behind the Design
Take our 'Hover' dining table. What looks like a simple, floating marble slab is the result of a complex wooden substructure and reinforced steel chassis engineered to handle 300kg of stone. We prototype every join and load-bearing element in our workshop to ensure that the final piece is visually light, but physically rock-solid.
Our design process goes beyond selecting veneers or paint swatches. It is about engineering solutions that make your home function better. When we design a rotating TV console or a wall-integrated wardrobe, we start with 3D modeling, but the real work happens on the workshop floor. We test materials like Brazilian Avocatus Quartzite and cast concrete for their tactile quality and weight-bearing capacity before they ever touch your floor.
We believe that if you cannot explain how a piece is built, you should not be building it. Whether it is hiding a harmonium inside a study table or carving out a coffee bar in a narrow nook, our focus remains on clean lines and functionality. We invite our clients to be part of this journey—sharing renders, making tweaks, and watching the transformation from concept to reality. By managing our own workshops and working with trusted artisans, we maintain full control over the finishes, ensuring the final installation matches the vision.
