We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: I wanted to pay homage to all the greatest designers that came before me. I'm referring to all the Italian masters as I consider myself a worthy heir of them.
: The chair is made entirely out of wood therefore the greatest aspect to be maintained was the faithful reproduction from the project to wood.
: I hope to sell it, I have no preference on who I want to sell it to as long as it'll be truly understood the values it stands for as well as the fact it won't be my only award-winning piece. That's just the beginning.
: To design it on paper a month it's all the process to make it a reality that is time-consuming and it took me more than 4. Also because I had to control the carpenter at distance in the early stages, I was in the States for school.
: As for almost the objects I have in my portfolio they are all school prompts or at least they were. I always go over the top by developing the little concepts we bake in the class and create finished beautiful products.
: I wish I could produce it myself, not now and for sure not this year. I'm willing to either lease the production rights or sell it and earn it through royalties. As of now the chair is on a Spanish startup site ready looking for a manufacturer but that can change.
: The will to promote myself as the perfect heir of the Italian masters that will finally enter the 21st century design by completely pivoting my focus on other kind of designs.
: My design professor was undoubtedly an influence for this kind of work. He helped me refine some details I would have otherwise missed and some advice on how to make it didn't come to arrive either.
: A person who appreciates the hard work that goes into making this kind of chair. A person that likes having high-end wood piece in his house. The skillfulness required to make this quality isn't indifferent.
: Well it is designed by a high school student doesn't that attract?
: It is named after my mother. It couldn't have been otherwise. Sleek yet with a traditional look to it.
: I work with a wide range of tools from pencil to computers. I made the technical drawing and then model the profile of the chair on Autocad to create files ready for the CNC.
: It creates design by being alone in a room. It stands by itself.
: Yes I worked with one of the greatest carpenter in my city whom I'm deeply grateful for.
: The initial technology used is CNC for cutting the piece then the elbow grease of the carpenter did the rest of the job.
: I researched the chairs design that made history not to copy from them but to not copy. That's what every designer should do nowadays.
: I didn't know where to start that's why at the beginning when you don't know anybody it's better to ask someone who you trust. This isn't only for starters though.
: I actually received an e-mail from one of the A' Design Award commissioner who invited me to submit Teresa.
: There's a saying in the design world that goes like this: "if you can design a chair you can design everything" the chair isn't perfect but up until now that saying is proving to be spot on.
: Yes keep an eye on my portfolio, great projects are coming soon (not in the furniture category) and as I said I get better project by project it is something I must do. You can check my bechance and ask me for commissions. Thanks
