FREE FLOW

2 32

S E E

S T U D Y

Everyday, the flow of life shows us

shapes, patterns and colors. As a

designer I have always been called

to pay attention to these details.

Aesthetics that surround me and

have the power to resonate within

my designs. Free Flow lifts our

constraints and follows natural

observations, which have been

harnessed in this collection.
