Hedges
A series of baskets and containers conceived with a combination of wood screws and plastic or inox fence. With a minimal amount of connecting points, the folded fence material is screwed together into different types of containers.

Stacks
Second-hand crockery parts are connected to the wood screws, becoming containers with sculptural qualities. These objects can be hung, placed, or squeezed onto existing shelves or furniture parts.

Rope
A screw and twisted rope share visual and physical analogies. Both have a spiral-like structure and are made to keep things together. Like the screw which is screwed and unscrewed, the twisted rope can tighten or loosen its twist. The tightening/loosening principle is used to form objects ranging from masks to suspension systems.
