“I’m looking forward to being one of the speakers at the Interiors Sessions at MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo in Hamburg. The crossroads of art and design are the most exciting grounds to navigate. Put these on a ship and that crossroad keeps moving cultural and aesthetic grounds, making its navigation that much more intriguing.

I’m looking forward to sharing a stage with leading design professionals and exchanging ideas and practices in the everlasting effort to do it all better. The new MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo seems like an excellent place to get inspired and meet the right people.”
