Making an object that is widely approved of by the audience brings me a lot of satisfaction. Difficulties in achieving the right proportions of one's own style, utilitarianism and modernity of the project stimulate my need for competition and provide a strong motivation. However, the items most important for me are difficult to define; they come from the border of design and art, in which I want to say something relevant to me, from my subjective perspective. I see a future for this type of objects in the mass world of good taste.
