Notable Works
Ceiba (Living Divani, 2016) is a coat hanger composed of four C-shaped elements of various heights, joined by a central pin whose compass opening lets each element take a different position; the recommended opening angle between elements is 90 degrees. The structure is solid ash, made by a CNC machine and then finished by hand.
