Q&A with Chris Tosdevin
Where do you find design inspiration?
My design inspiration comes from warm contemporary architecture and its use of earth materials: glass, wood, steel and stone.How do you approach the design process?
I aim to create the most functional and ergonomic design by mixing materials and using the most durable elements in heavily used parts of the kitchen.What makes your aesthetic stand out amongst other designers?
I try to develop a balanced scheme which is contemporary with warmth. I use details which produce light design and therefore a timeless environment.What is the greatest value you provide to your clients?
My objective is to create the most practical and user friendly design using the best quality materials and appliances, the style is not subject to changes found in the latest trends. My goal is to create designs that my clients can enjoy for 20 years or more.
