Hello.
It all starts here.
Throughout my life, I have always been interested in diverse disciplines and their encounters.
Crossing borders.
Designing transitions.
Connecting people, ideas, spaces.
I believe inventiveness, innovation
and deeper understanding lie at the core of
May it be art, science, business, law or technology.
Or the
"The acute problems of the world can be solved only by whole men
(and women), not by people who refuse to be, publicly, anything
more than a technologist, or a pure scientist, or an artist.
In the world of today, you have got to be everything
or you are going to be nothing."¹
/Conrad Hal Waddington/
Moholy-Nagy believed that "a human being is developed
by the crystallization of the whole of his experiences"
and argued for developing all our possible faculties
instead of pursuing one specific occupation.²
It all boils down to the singular pursuit of
And creating – both inside and outside -
while doing so.
Introducing Graphite.
Being the most stable form of elemental carbon at normal temperatures, this wonderful material is built up of many layers of Graphene that are delicately bound together.
Graphene - one singular layer of Graphite - itself already opens the door for further possibilities. The honeycomb structure of each layer provides a so efficient arrangement of electrons that it becomes hard to break them, yet it is only one atomic layer thick, resulting in Graphene being strong, tough, yet light and flexible. This special, rather weak interlayer binding of Graphene layers is the reason a pencil works well on paper and a graphite patch on paper is so easy to smudge.³
The layers peel off just effortlessly. As if revealing one’s true identity.
