Besides his practice, he has teamed up with Valentin Sieber met during his studies. The two sidekicks share a passion for product design, but also for space and architecture which has shaped the way they approach human habits.
In 2020 they founded the multidisciplinary design office Work Matter. They are specialised in product design, furniture but also in interiors, scenography, exhibition and art direction.
Their designs are characterised by a conceptual approach, unique aesthetics and functional dimension trying to keep in mind to always add value and narrative to their projects.
