A cosmopolitan, self-taught designer, with a spirit that is mid-way between manager, craftsman and inventor; he is passionate about the decorative potential of recycled materials, which he transforms in his workshop and which is what has made him famous.

His work has joined collections in museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the MoMa in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. For Foscarini, he has created Lightweight, a project that combines metal with blown glass in a suspended installation, with a strongly architectural feel.
