Furthermore, he does not simply focus on consumer electronics but also challenges practical and artistic furniture design. In the workshop, he expanded his design spectrum through the experience of fabricating physical prototypes using materials such as metal, wood, plastic, and fabric, gaining a deep understanding of CMF and structures. He enriches his design approach with a broad and global perspective based on his studies in Switzerland and his international design experience, including exhibitions at Milan Design Week and Dutch Design Week.
