The products presented here were designed and produced using an alternative design and development method that frees a designer to pursue creative expressions, realize them as industrially repeatable products and have the ability to globally distribute design.

Open Design is a personal attempt to close a creativity gap between product design and other fields (music, graphic design, animation and photography), Which found their creative output in phase with the realities of information technology and economics.
The Open Design method is based on the principles of the already successful Open Source method that revolutionized the software industry, and gave birth to a social movement that is cooperative, community-minded and seeks legitimate ways of sharing creativity.

TextFields is an investigation into the metaphysical worlds between text and space.

We are interested in the possible forces that text can generate within a spatial and formal context.

Exploring the sensual energy of unfocused and charged textual forms, we want to understand where do fonts and space lose their limits, where do they become forces and vectors in a field, and where this field is perceived as a field for the unfamiliar; a field without a perceived centre, a field where the inherent qualities of both are dismantled, where the reader, the voyeur and the visitor are intertwined, and where in this lies the emergence of a field of text.
