As the years go by, I think the best way to define what I do is \u201cDesigner\/Artisan\u201d, because for me, a piece\u2019s form and its materials are inextricably linked. I draw in pencil and on the computer, but I also need my sewing machine to \u201ccommunicate\u201d with materials such as linen, hemp cloth, cotton, and of course leather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have always been inspired by the Bauhaus movement, at the intersection between design, art and artisanship, seamlessly marrying aesthetics with functionality. I believe that there is a fundamental link between artist and artisan. Artists cannot disregard materials, tools and craftsmanship, just as artisans must tap into their own artistic sensibility and creativity. My creation process always begins with a concept\u2014an idea gleaned from an art or photo exhibition, a walk in the countryside, or even a book or swatch of fabric. Next, I start to draw, filtering out the parts I don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal is to get to the essence of the idea. So every last detail in my pieces is the result of painstaking work to balance the proportions between geometric lines, distances and dimensions. You could say that the process from idea to production is a world of its own, defined by three things: creativity, craftsmanship and a vision of what this world represents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I call myself a \u201cDesigner\/Artisan\u201d because artisanal production is, for me, the opposite of consumerism and throwaway culture\u2014which is all about buying a lot of cheap, soulless and short-lived items that fill a gap but have no real meaning to them. Through artisanal production, we get to know every stage of the process. Each piece is the result of a multitude of skills, but also a great deal of time and loving craftsmanship. It\u2019s a sensitive, respectful and sustainable kind of production.<\/p>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad Collection is the perfect example of this combination of skills and mindset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

As a \u201cDesigner\/Artisan,\u201d I\u2019m able to get to the heart of each piece. I aim to combine innovative design with artisanal craftsmanship. And I am passionate about creating functional, elegant and timeless pieces that highlight artistry in all its forms, built on a rich alliance of technical, artistic, aesthetic and ethical values. In some ways, each case from the Nomad Collection<\/strong><\/span><\/a> holds not only the items it was created for, but also the work of real people and expert hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
