From the Bavarian Alps to Japan, via South Tyrol, Norway, Australia, and beyond — my journey has been shaped by craftsmanship, travel, and a relentless drive to improve. Trained as a furniture maker, I worked across small workshops and world-class fabrication studios, collaborating on high-end projects with renowned architects.
Along the way, I developed a passion for creating furniture and materials that last for generations — pieces that can be assembled, disassembled, customized, and repaired, reducing waste and fighting throwaway culture. In Melbourne, inspired by my wife’s work as a barista, I began experimenting with coffee grounds, leading to the creation of EcoBlend — a sustainable composite at the heart of my current work.
Now based in Japan, I combine minimalism, Bauhaus principles, and Kaizen thinking to design products with identity, purpose, and longevity. Every design tells a story — not just of form and function, but of values.
