Today's mass-production and the disposable fashion are deeply
problematic. Current fast changing trends and low price that promote consumers to buy more than they need has pushed people to easily throw away their objects and I believe that this lack of consciousness will increase in the future even more. I am fighting against this epidemic with needles and threads. It is important now that we need to consider our basic needs and what we already possess, and to use these materials wisely and beautifully.

Dressed Furniture is inspired by traditional crafts and antique raw materials, hand made by me; Obviously, the scarcity of the antique furniture used requries the total number of editions produced each piece is extreamly limited. Each piece is therefore entirely unique. The craft traditions convey a considered thought process and have always recognized the value in reusing and repurposing.
