Portfolio
A selection of works that span across interior design, consulting, editorial, and lecturing while sharing one common objective: nourishing people and nature through design.
Flowy yoga studio
A yoga studio that reflects the flowing nature of yoga practice in the space. The same locally-sourced wood finish runs along walls, ceiling, and floor, creating a cave-like space that’s perfect to escape from the bustle of city life. The wavy ceiling draws the eye outdoors, where a lush garden of native species creates a rich natural scene. Through flowy movements, gentle light changes, and delicate sounds, the view highlights the ever-changing spectacle of nature, supporting a calm state of mind.
Calming bedroom
A residential bedroom where juxtaposed textures and a neutral palette craft a sensory and cuddling ambiance for rest. On the back wall, a full-height slatted wood finish adds depth, warmth, and richness while grounding the space. An upholstered bed structure and travertine nightstands echo the same colour scheme while contrasting in texture and feel. Real greenery foraged in the woods nearby invites a personal connection with the natural surroundings.
Textile palette study
Material palette study for a textile collection developed around the concept of sand as an element as well as a feeling. Originating from a close observation of sandy landscapes, the fabric selection evokes the qualities and variations of sand through visual as well as tactile features.
Biophilic design book
Physical and digital book delving into the nuances of biophilic thinking and design through thought-provoking aphorisms and essays. Combining physical and digital pages, the publication broadens the very notion of ‘book’ and opens new avenues for use, providing a starting point for reflection and creative thinking while leaving space for exploration.
