“Design,
for those who imagine and create it,
for those who promote it,
and for those who choose it,
is a philosophy,
a mental structure.
Design is research and love for beauty,
for purity in the form and function.
Design is a lifestyle.
To love oneself is to take care of oneself,
it is creating an inner and outer space of comfort.
The house is the exterior space of welcome and expression of the Self.
Color, shape, material, poetry: this is the object.
To love is to choose an object for oneself.
Creating harmony in the setting of one’s house is to connect wisely the uniqueness of the chosen objects.
I wish to promote new guidelines and unexplored paths.
This is why I welcomed enthusiastically the idea of working with an artist of the International Arte Laguna Prize.“
