Between Yacht & Product Design

I believe the role of a designer is rooted in two fundamental concepts: to stimulate and to inspire.

The product should not be seen merely as an object, but as a way through which thoughts are provoked,

emotions are sparked, and, at times, memories and fascination are created in those who experience it.
