As a person of Indonesian origin, design has fascinated him since he came to Germany. Especially since he has a different perspective on design due to his cultural past and the fact that Indonesia is one of the largest low-wage sectors in the world and one of the countries that exploit natural resources on a large scale. That is why sustainability plays a big role in his design, but also in his way of life.
