What does your job as a Technical Consultant entail?

My job is to offer technical support internally and externally regarding VidaSpace products and the installation process.

 

What do you love about interior design?

I love how interior design can evoke different feelings and emotions depending on how the space is configured and materials used.

 

Who are your design icons?

George Nakashima - The respect Nakashima has for timber shows through in his timeless designs. His philosophy was that each tree has a distinctly different personality, and the woodworker has a responsibility to use all of their skill to strive for perfection in each creation.

 

What do you love about timber?

I love that every plank is unique within the grain /texture /colour and the fact that it’s a natural, sustainable material. I also find working with timber to be a cathartic experience whether its installing a timber floor, sanding/coating timber or making furniture. European oak in particular lends itself to so many different staining/coating/finishing applications making it an interesting product to work with.

 

What is your favourite VidaSpace product?

The Oscar Ono Forêt, I find it to be a unique product which captures a traditional look that can be used in a modern/contemporary setting.
