For the past year I have been developing a series of design concepts. The intention is that these items are not just re-workings in form of an existing idea but pieces that offer new solutions and improve everyday living through design.
My first product ‘Tilt’ was Designed in mind of the growing number of us who live in small houses and apartments, Tilt is a coat and shoe storage solution that will fit in narrow hallways or corridors. The Aesthetic approach is one of simplicity; form led by function. Importance is placed on the quality of finish with each element of the design handmade.
