You started your career by working in the fashion and art field. How did this affect your current design?<\/strong>
I consider myself a self-taught both in terms of fashion and design. I studied psychology at Toulouse University without graduating. Then I enrolled to English Literature and Commerce at the South London College. After my graduation, I went back to France where I developed with a few friends a fashion casual jeans brand, CHIPIE, which gained quite a reputation in France, Belgium and Spain from the end of the Seventies. In the early Eighties I left the southern part of the country to move to Paris, where I worked for many French and Italian brands such as Robe di Kappa, Uniform, Cerruti, Charles Chevignon, Et Vous , GStar. I think fashion made me more curious and also gave me sort of a more rigorous point of view in terms of production. I’ve always been into culture, architecture and interior decoration, yet fashion gave me a further sense of color as well as a better vision in terms of contemporary trends.

What’s the main feature of your style?
<\/strong>When it comes to furniture design I don’t think I have a specific trait yet, however I would define my style close to modernism, refined and made out of exceptional materials.

Which is the project you are prouder of?
<\/strong>I haven’t produced too many products but I think my MONDRIAN cupboard<\/a><\/strong> is the best as it is modern, minimalistic, refined and playful too. <\/p>","testo_b":"

Which are your favorite materials and why?
<\/strong>Certainly wood, but I also like plexiglass, glass, aluminum and Corian.

What do you expect from the coming future? Which will be the major changes in the design field?<\/strong>
Today everything moves really quickly and you have design products from all over the world, which means that changes and trends are ever-growing also because of the many influences that such different cultures involve. New materials, techniques and machineries play a leading role too. On the one hand, I would say that we are moving towards sort of a “futuristic” future; on the other, due to the importance of ecology, I also presume that we will end up in a scenario that will be more “natural” and simple too. However, I believe that luxury, refined, handcrafted products will always be valued.<\/p>\n

Which are your favorite contemporary designers and why?<\/strong>
There are many amazing designers, it’s impossible to mention all of them. I would say Philippe Stark, Zaha Hadid, Marc Newson, Ron Arad ,Patricia Urquiola,Piero Lissoni, Marcel Wanders . I love their modernism and creativity.<\/p>\n

Which kind of clients commissions an interior design project to you?<\/strong>
I haven’t been working much as an interior designer so far, however I’ve designed several projects for private clients, especially offices or fashion boutiques.

What’s the main responsibility of you profession?<\/strong>
To bring beauty, taste and functionality in the world.

What would you suggest to emerging designers?
<\/strong>I actually consider myself an emerging talent too, as I’ve been working in this field for just three years!<\/p>\n

Which are your next projects? And your dream-ones?<\/strong>
I’m working on a “modern art” chair; a table made out of wood, resin and steel; a cupboard with a refined wood-style look. I’d love to create some pieces in epoxy resin with petrified wood effects on, just like in the Seventies.<\/p>\n
