Some of my products are now available at Michele Varian. I like the selection in her store, a mix of organic, ironic, and dark themes. I'm almost tempted to say goth, but dark elegance is more appropriate. Please visit her store if you are in NYC.

I have finally updated this website in preparation for the upcoming New York International Gift Show at the Javits Center. I was fortunate enough to be selected for the A+: The Young Designer's Platform at Accent on Design, together with 2 other emerging designers. I am so busy at the moment preparing for the exhibition. We were awarded prime exhibit space at Accent on Design, together with the likes of Alessi, Umbra, and Artecnica.

The Designboom mart at the ICFF last May was a huge success for me. There were a number of inquiries from stores and press. Overall it was a great show, considering it's my first time to launch my products. The difficult part is actually producing the stuff once you get the orders. I am learning a lot of things.

The New Organic rings are now available at The New Museum store. I developed a special gunmetal finish for them, in conjunction with their summer exhibition After Nature.
"After Nature" surveys a landscape of wilderness and ruins, darkened by uncertain catastrophe. It is a story of abandonment, regression, and rapture?an epic of humanity and nature coming apart under the pressure of obscure forces and not-so-distant environmental disasters. Bringing together an international and multigenerational group of artists, filmmakers, writers, and outsiders, the exhibition depicts a universe in which humankind is being eclipsed and new ecological systems struggle to find a precarious balance.
I guess The New Organic fits well.

Mid-century modern design icon Vladimir Kagan purchased a few pieces of my clocks during the ICFF show. To say I'm flattered is an understatement. Mr. Kagan is most famous for his sculptural and organic furniture pieces.
