The Organic line works the fold by means of a rolled and, depending on the case, warped surface. The formal feature that articulates the product line is the cleft, both horizontally and vertically. This involves the transformation of flat geometric shapes (rectangles and squares) into volumetric shapes (slits) by means of straight cross sections and strategic joints at a point. The cleft contributes mainly to the meaning of the concepts of rhythm and organicity.

From Straight to Curved: The Zig Zag Takes Shape. This applied research project explores the transformation of a straight line into a curve through cross-sections. The objective was to design a strong and visually striking necklace while minimizing material usage and optimizing structural efficiency. The methodology was based on direct experimentation, where different cutting and bending techniques were tested to achieve the desired flexibility and form

The design of the Raices line emerges from the need to reuse thousands of oval cuts of new leather from a safety boot factory, discarded daily for having no utility. To reuse them, the designer focused on the search for techniques that would allow to find their greatest beauty and functionality, finding inspiration in the wings of birds, the scaled, staggered and overlapping. In order to expand the color palette, it was also decided to reuse leathers from other companies.
