catalyst, a mediator or maybe a filter of the things around us. His world and his studio are full of all kinds of objects – gifts, found things, strange, trite, original. Objects which he has been collecting all his life. He is not a collector, this is his everyday life, his inspiration and passion which unconsciously shape the way he works. Regular, but also unusual things which the designer showcased in an exhibition called “Biography” in Barcelona and later he published a book with the same title.
