I graduated in Industrial Design and later transitioned into Interior Architecture, where I am currently completing my Master’s degree. My background in product design shaped my structured, detail-oriented way of thinking, while working with space allowed me to engage more deeply with atmosphere and the experience of environments as a whole. I’m interested in space as a relational and multisensory experience, shaped by context, light, air, material, and subtle transitions. My design process is grounded in research and observation, with a strong focus on sustainability and interventions that respond to both people and place.
Alongside design, I work professionally in ballet and modern dance, which strongly influences how I understand space through movement.
I also enjoy painting, ceramics, and cooking, all of which inform my creative process.

DESCRIPTION
The Tilt Chair was designed to seamlessly blend aesthetics with functionality in dining spaces. Inspired by Peter Opsvik’s design philosophy, it allows natural movement and effortless shifts in posture during meals, conversations, or work at the table. Its elegant bentwood frame enables smooth tilting forward and backward, while the bent sheet-metal seat combines simplicity with ergonomic comfort. The chair invites users to linger at the table for coffee, reading, or conversation, creating a space where meaningful moments and ideas naturally unfold.
The Tilt Table was developed as the second part of the project. Designed after the chair, it was conceived not as part of a predefined set but as a contextual response. The process began with understanding the character and principles embodied in the chair, then translating those qualities into a table that complements rather than imitates it. This sequence reflects an approach to design where relationships between objects evolve naturally, guided by coherence, movement, and dialogue.
