“It May be true that one has to choose between ethics and aesthetics, but whichever one chooses, one will always find the other at the end of the road.”

Jean-Luc Godard

My current project “Poetic Textiles For Smart Homes” is a design quest which aims at developing innovative textiles for the domestic market. 

By investigating issues of aesthetics and functions, the project aims at mapping out new possibilities for textile to take a leading role in redefining our intimate and emotional relationship with “smart homes”. The design process explores a combination of new technologies (intelligent textiles, new materials) together with more traditional and low-tech methods of production to generate new “hybrid” designs. 

Sustainable values underpin both the design process and the design outcomes.

My research interests include: textiles, sustainable design, biomimicry, architecture, interactive design, material sciences, emerging  technologies and new materials, sociology, anthropology, futurology, magic, floral design, food design and art.
