My main activity is the work on sur-mesure wooden constructions and furniture, commissioned or self-initiated. Most often in the shape of a shelf, a table, a stool, a door, or alike. Occasionally i teach on the subject of tools, in their broadest sense. In the past i have been working as a developer and typographer.

Feel free to contact me for a commission or a visit in my workshop.

Where does it come from? and now? are questions that drive my work. Sometimes, looking at a wooden shelf or table, i questions myself about its age and memory. It might have been 120 years since its oak tree started to grow. Each material, each plank of wood, carries a lived experience, you could call it time. You can see the time of this wooden plank running through the long side of a shelf, across the seat of a chair, up a doorframe's post.
