EXPERIENCE:
From the beginning he dealt with interior design, residential design, industrial design and visual communication, assisting with educational programs at several university courses at the Polytechnic. In 1997 he opened his own studio devoted to architecture and design, architectural design, products, furniture and interior design for businesses and individuals. In the meantime he cooperated with other studies in the field of exhibitions, corporate identity and product design. In 1999 he founded his design company and started dealing with the themes of sustainable architecture, renewable energy and energy-saving technologies. Thus began the study of a range of products and furnishings designed according to the criteria of sustainable design. His personal aesthetic direction is oriented toward the testing of innovative combinations of materials and the research for simple and interchangeable solutions. This patient and courageous processing work continued until 2007, when the first products of its Ecodesign Collection were created, suitable for all areas of contemporary life and designed to optimize their use and their duration. His projects have been published in International architecture and design books and journals.
