„The idea matters, but not only: as important is its reali-sation. My architectural background and the close connection of design and craft - which is one of my main foci as furni-ture designer - help me conceptualise unconventional furni-ture. If, in addition to this, the individual strengths and points of view of the designers are part of the designing process, a circular movement between design and craft is created, leading from the idea to the perfect piece of furniture!"
