Humans are attracted to contrast

Humans are naturally attracted to contrasts because they facilitate perception, capture attention, and evoke emotions.
Through simple forms and the subtle integration of modern technologies, I try to create objects that speak for themselves, where appearance reveals and enhances function, with no compromise.

My design is rooted in simple, almost elemental forms, often enriched with digital technologies.
I create clear, functional objects, inspired by the tangible shapes and objects around us.
I am driven by a need to touch, experiment, and shape, exploring the contrast between the spontaneity of craft and the precision of industry.

Since 2020, at La Boite Concept, I have been working to reinvent the place of music within our domestic environments.
My hands-on understanding of wood and metal allows me to anchor my projects within the realities of contemporary craftsmanship, while preserving the importance of manual experimentation.

By creating simple, well-considered objects, I hope to foster a more conscious way of consuming, focused on use, essence, and lasting value.
