 y furniture and lightning is designed to be functional, with a ' twist' . By combining function with humour, or the unexpected, I produce work which is thought provoking and provides a talking-point for viewer.
Tables and lights are the main focal point in a room and as such, they should have 'something to say' . I use a variety of materials to make innovative and unique pieces, to surprise and delight.
