Creations

There is a moment — quiet, humbling — when we hold a piece of stone and realise it is older than memory, older than language, older than us. 200 million years in our hands. A weight not only of matter, but of time.In a world obsessed with speed, consumption, and endless reinvention, we choose to pause. We choose to listen. To rediscover the silent power of natural materials, not as mere resources, but as beings, as presences. This series of objects is born from that listening.
It is not a collection of designed things, but a process of rediscovering how to be in dialogue with the material. The stone comes first, not the idea or the ego. We do not sketch a shape and force it onto the material. Instead, we search for the block that speaks. The one whose veins, fractures, volume, or shade already contains a story. Once found, we let it lead.

“Rediscovering the silent power of natural materials.”
