PRODUCT DESIGN JUROR
David leads the delivery of award-winning kitchen innovations and thoughtfully designed everyday products, ensuring each outcome is both visually compelling and rigorously buildable. With a deep-rooted passion for furniture and lighting, his experience spans two distinct manufacturing landscapes: high-volume production in China and bespoke, hand-crafted furniture in Italy.
This dual perspective informs a design approach that balances precision, pragmatism, and scalability with the nuance, material sensitivity, and restraint of fine craftsmanship. David’s work is grounded in creating products that not only perform reliably, but also resonate emotionally, enhancing how they are used, how they integrate into the home, and how they endure over time.
