As is now traditional (well, three years in a row), I collaborated with CTRLZAK Studio and JCP to provide names and narratives for a collection of hybrid but functional art-design objects for sale, with their premiere at the Salone del Mobile of Milan Design Week 2018.

TOP TEN THINGS TO SEE AT THE VENICE BIENNALE 2015
Relax (Don’t do it)
