Joao Teixeira
As a designer I have been pushing myself hard to design sustainable products, either by using sustainable material selection or sustainable ways of manufacturing. As a professional my specialization is furniture design with particular focus on office and working typologies. My relationship with industry is about creating connections between companies as I believe this is the way to solve complex product developments. The balance between aesthetics and functionality is my daily approach in terms of design language.
