Welcome to my studio, the place where shape, structure and curiosity meet. Here I share more about the inspiration behind each design, the crafting process and how every concept gradually comes together.

L'Atelier, the Studio Chair NextGen (work in progress)
With the successful launch of the first edition, my vision for the next-generation L'Atelier is to create something much bolder and more striking.
The new version is taking shape on the workbench with some serious upgrades:
Bolder frame: Moving to wider steel sections for the outer frame.
Enhanced comfort: A deeper seat and extended proportions.
The focal point: A completely unique split backrest design.
For the palette, I’m combining blacks and greys in mixed textures of pleather and fabric. I’ve also been experimenting with the steel finish mixing white into black steel paint to hit a custom, off-black gunmetal colour.
Watch this space as this design comes together.

L'Atelier, the Studio Chair
L'Atelier is a chair designed for artists, creators, and anyone who enjoys having a comfortable place to sit, think, and create.
Named after the French word for a workshop, this design reflects the journey that took place in my own workshop. What started as a simple idea to create a chair in its most basic form, with function as the main focus, soon turned into months of redesign, adjustments, and experimentation. Even once the frame reached the workbench, the design continued to evolve.
One lesson I learned through this project is that creating less often requires more thought. Using less steel, less wood, less foam, and less fabric sounds simple, but creating a chair that still feels luxurious, comfortable, wide, and stylish is not easy. Every detail had to earn its place.
The custom steel frame was designed to be strong and clean, while the upholstery was carefully built up with multiple layers of support and foam to create lasting comfort. The result is a chair that feels simple at first glance, but carries a lot of thought and craftsmanship behind it.
I designed L'Atelier to be an everyday chair. A place to rest, think, sketch, read, and let creativity flow. A chair designed by an artist, for the artist.

BLOK 50
Inspired by the music we used to love from 1994, the year I matriculated. Missing.
A song where the emotion comes from what isn’t there, the absence, the space, the simplicity of the vocal line.
"like the deserts miss the rain"
Blok 50 design thrives on minimalism, space, absence of clutter and intentional restraint.
“Missing” didn’t age, it became iconic.

Platform 25
My vision with this piece is to create a bespoke chair that maximizes fabric while minimizing steel. Every curve and joint has been considered carefully, structural integrity remains the priority, with reinforced elements placed strategically to strengthen the naturally weaker areas.

The HENRI EVO
The original Henri design was the first piece where people truly began to recognise my work. After a few years, I felt the need to return to it and not to change it, but completely elevate it. The new Henri keeps the spirit of the original while introducing deeper luxury sprung support, wider steel proportions, refined finishes and a higher level of craftsmanship in every detail.

The Doux Chair.
The Doux , an Impressionist in Steel and Stone
In the heart of late 19th-century Paris, Charles Alexandre Picart Le Doux looked at the world differently. As the "last true impressionist," his work moved between the raw power of a landscape and the gentle, sensual curve of a portrait. He sought a specific kind of perfection, a balance between the bold and the soft.
Named in honor of Le Doux’s legacy, this piece is a study in contrasts. It begins with a rigid, "box" frame in a square silhouette in hammered dark bronze, finished in what I call "rough-smooth".
