"Body of Work" merges playful forms with functional design, reimagining furniture as an extension of the body. Inspired by my distinctive visual style, the collection brings exaggerated body parts into the realm of furniture and lighting, transforming them into modular, whimsical pieces. Each design is a collaboration of art and craftsmanship, incorporating details from skilled artisans. Modular in nature, these creations invite interaction, allowing multiple configurations and interpretations, blurring the boundaries between utility and expression
Nose from designer's painting: Inspiration for Nosejob
Ear from designer's painting: Inspiration for Earpiece
A pendant lamp that humorously interprets the human nose, Nosejob is a celebration of bold profiles and playful aesthetics. The design’s curved and exaggerated elements mirror how I typically sketch noses, resulting in a familiar yet abstract form. Crafted as part of a modular system, Nosejob is not just a lamp but a statement piece, infusing spaces with personality and wit. Its tongue-in-cheek name reflects its character: a nod to both facial features and its artistic reconstruction through craftsmanship. Whether illuminating a dining table or serving as a focal point in a room, Nosejob is designed to spark conversation and delight.

Nose Job to Ear Piece
Form of the ear
A floor lamp that takes inspiration of form from the human ear. Earpiece transforms a familiar feature into a functional object with subtle humor. The lamp’s elongated structure and soft curves echo the contours of an ear as I interpret it in my art.
Designed with the same modular pieces as Nosejob, it exemplifies the collection's versatility. Earpiece provides a warm glow, creating an inviting atmosphere, while its unique shape adds a sculptural element to any space.
