The service consists of ceramic plates and soup bowls made of glazed concrete with spoons of beech veneer as well as a series of cast shot glasses, egg cups, and cups, of bronze brick.

That environment, like for most people, is the urban environment and I want to focus on the specific beauty of the jagged edges of messy urban areas.

These are not places designed to give a feeling for life. They are, for me, an important element in the design process.

The physical contact with the materials is a touchstone.  Stone, clay, glass, metal, wood on location are mostly not clean, neat, new or tight. In recognition of this a major role of my work is coincidence and not ordered design.
