FREE FLOW

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.
