That same sense of theatre and dramatic narrative is a key ingredient of his creative philosophy. Last year, he launched new editions of his own interpretation of the iconic Eero Aarnio Bubble Chair, beloved by Bond villains and Playboy playmates alike, including illuminated versions. These complement his Tempus edition of illuminated timepieces that double as kinetic artworks.
