About

I discovered the design when I was a kid, thanks to my Grandfather during an exhibition on Luigi Colani.

There were camera manta ray-shaped, futuristic-looking buildings, cars with amazing designs ...

When I asked him how we did to make cars like those, he answered me by studying the shapes most adapted to our needs.

Simple but efficient!

It is always with the same approach that I now design an object.
