Inside the Studio

Every object begins long before it becomes a finished piece.

A collection rarely starts with a complete idea. More often, it begins with a sketch, a material sample, an observation, or a question.

A fossil discovered in a book.

A prehistoric silhouette.

A texture found in stone.

A form that appears during experimentation.

These fragments gradually evolve into objects.

Inside the studio, design is less about inspiration and more about refinement. Ideas are tested through sketches, digital models, prototypes, molds, and material experiments. Some survive. Many do not.

Failure is an essential part of the process.

A surface may not cast correctly.

A pigment may behave differently than expected.

A mold may break after only a few uses.

A promising concept may simply feel wrong once it becomes physical.

Each attempt leaves behind information that shapes the next version.

Working with concrete requires patience. Unlike digital design, material decisions cannot always be undone. Every casting records a specific moment in the process, carrying traces of temperature, timing, and technique.

This unpredictability is part of what makes the work meaningful.

Rather than pursuing perfect repetition, we focus on understanding the material and refining each object over time.

The studio is not a place where ideas are manufactured.

It is where they are discovered.

Every collection begins as an experiment.

Every finished object carries a history of trials, revisions, and decisions that remain invisible once it enters everyday life.

This journal documents that process.

The successes.

The failures.

And everything in between.
