I like minimalist-designed pieces, order and harmony around me, the simple, functionalist design. In the past years several architects and stylist likened my bags unto modern buildings’ style. I came to realize that several pieces of my work were indirectly influenced by this world of forms.

"During the design of my latest collection I summarized what modern architecture means to me personally. I found the basics of my inspiration in the creations of minimalist japan architecture. The selection of a name, TATEMONO, refers to this, which in Japanese means building. Hiroshi Nakamura’s Ribbon Chapel, Spiral Building in Nagoya, and also Carlo Scarpa’s and Roman Vlasov’s buildings inpired me.

Beside noble commodities, simple, geometric shapes and lively or pure soil-colours, strong contrasts characterises them. Inside the frame of minimalist form-shaping I aimed to design these bags characterful and unique, such as those buildings that inspired me."
