Design is a equation between style, intentions and costumers requests. Every object reflects our experiences, our memories and knowl-
edge. In each new product, I need control every detail looking for the perfection, so if an item is missing, the result will not be the same.
To design an object, regardless of its nature, either a chair, a toothbrush or a tiny precious jewel it is important to take care all its aspects:
beauty, satisfaction, simplicity, humor, functionality, etc..
Now in days the designer can not take a pencil and make only a beautiful sketch, it is need the knowledge of the manufacturing process,
the lifestyles and expectations of the brand and also conserve resources and use them in a sustainable way.
The industry expects the product designed would not be expensive, they care the object itself, but also the economic benefits. The mar-
keting would love the designer came up with the solution and the new icon of the house. The public´s desire is to acquire a beautiful and
functional object. But an object englobes all this and more, like the personality of the designer.
I am part of the general public. I want beatiful objects. I design for myself and others.
