If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the peopleand it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments.

I was much more interested in making things than in designing them.

I made some salt and pepper shakers a while back and waited three years for them to come.

So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.

I'm fascinated with materials, with processes, with technologies.
