“The subject of this project is ornamentation, in contradistinction to Adolf Loos’s modernism, which condemns it as an expression of barbarism. Ornamentation is treated here as a piece of comfort,
inspired by the expressive imagery of Egyptian art. A civilization that fascinates me. Ornamentation invites itself into your interiors: from tufted carpets to ceramics.”
