Design philosophy: My ambition is to design furniture which harmonise with the rhythm of nature; simple, beautiful, functional and comfortable. I'm aiming for the newness which is required by the time.
However, my design is independent of trends and is ment for long time use.
I am not only thinking about furniture itself but also human life through it.
For me, to design furniture is to design people's lifestyle.
