Nova

handcrafted work from natural materials

For many years I have been creating
original work from natural materials. I work with wood,
semi-precious stones, light and space.

Material

To me, wood is not just a building or artistic material. It is a living trace of landscape, time and growth. Every piece has its own grain, tension, scent and character.

People

My work never comes from a technical brief alone. What always matters to me is the person, the place and the atmosphere that is meant to emerge.
