The Conversation

Looking back, is there an early memory — an object, a place, or a person — that first awakened your sensitivity to form and beauty?

I was always captivated by the beauty of nature and also the grandeur of historical and antique architecture. As a child, I remember being fascinated by buildings like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona or the Colosseum in Roma, not just for their size, but for the intricate details, the harmony of their forms, and the stories they tell through stone and space.

Makers and moments You often collaborate closely with artisans. Beyond the work itself, what have these relationships taught you about patience, humility, or even friendship?

It has taught me that true excellence requires a lot of skills and takes a lot of time. Perfect quality is a big part, so it will take as long as it takes to achieve perfection. And of course I learned a lot about patience and how to manage these situations. Beyond the work itself, these collaborations often lead to friendships, built on trust. It’s also an important part and this makes the collaboration easier and more interesting. I only work with artisans who share same vision and values.

Choose one material you return to again and again. What memory does it carry for you? Tell us about a time the material resisted your idea and how that resistance shaped the final form.

That is a difficult question, and honestly, I don't think I can choose just one material. But I find myself particularly drawn to natural materials like marble or wood. There's something deeply fascinating about working with them ; part of the process is beyond our control. I also love to work with metal as bronze ; we have so many possibilities and ways to work with it, and we can achieve an infinite variety of different shades and finishes.

What keeps you restless, returning again and again to the studio? Is it curiosity, discipline, a need to prove something, or something else entirely?

It's the beauty of imagining and creating — the thrill of bringing something into existence that didn’t exist before, to bring new emotion and new vision to life.

When life feels overwhelming, where do you find peace? Is there a ritual, a place, or a practice that helps you return to yourself and to inspiration?

100% in nature. As I live in Switzerland and if I have only few hours I go to the Geneva lake or in the Alps. If I have a bit more time I go surfing in south west France near Hossegor or also surfing in Portugal as in Ericeira, Caparica or other places.

Beyond form and function, what do you hope lingers in people’s hearts when they live with your work — a feeling, a memory, or a state of being?

In this kind of work, hearts often lead the way ; clients are moved by instinct, by that sudden spark of connection. So, what I hope lingers isn’t just a memory or a mood, but a feeling, something deeper. A sense of belonging, a gentle joy, or a spark of inspiration. But, whatever form it takes, I hope my work leaves behind a trace of emotion that stays in the time.
