Hug – chair for public spaces
Big: Why did you decide to become a designer?
Nana: I was always fascinated by 3d form and had a desire to improve things.
Big: What do you think is the most important thing in designing/the design profession?
Nana: Being flexible.
Big: How do you work – as a free-lancer or are you employed at a company?
Nana: Free-lancer
Big: Do you discuss your work with other designers/architects?
Nana: Yes its a need, but sometimes is far more inspirational to discuss it with people from other professions.
Big: Describe your style, like a good friend of yours would describe it.
Nana: I like to think of me as not having a specific style. So is it adabtable, maybe explorative?
Big: Please describe the evolution of your work, from your first projects to the present day.
Nana: Rather than evolution I would call it a constant search of balance, satisfaction, learning from past experiences…
Big: Which of your projects was the most satisfying to work on?
Nana: I liked all, because everyone had a special meaning and lesson for me.
Big: Who would you especially like to design something for?
Nana: I would like to design for my own production someday…
Big: What would your advice to the young designers/architects be?
Nana: Relax… design is not so important to everyone as it is to us.
Big: What are your fears regarding the future?
Nana: What future? Live NOW! (citation from my friend Barbara Nardoni)
