This is why he is one of the pioneers and one of the central figures of the concept of “democratic design”.
By applying his prolific work to all domains, the products of our daily life (furniture, citrus press, electric bicycle, individual wind turbine), from architecture (hotels, restaurants that aspire to be stimulating places) to naval engineering (mega yachts), he has continually pushed back the limits and criteria of design, becoming one of the most popular creators of the international contemporary scene.
