INSPIRATION: I've been inspired to come up with this project while my participation in santorini biennale of arts 2012 entitled "Past and Memory"
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: BOOMerang: object path centuries! Characteristic of native Australians. Part of daily lives; come to our days owing to the peculiar use. It was a weapon? A game? The elliptical shape is what you make it deletes a path in the air. Be initiated by the user and returns it. To use the Lows of Physics, unknown at the time! These are all interesting to see the use of this object, its shape better and intervening creatively, to convey in our everyday life. A simple form of American walnut, with a metal addition at the end, resting on the floor, and rests on the wall. It allows us to hang a garment.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: my career as an industrial designer has taken me all over the world, exposed me to a myriad of materials and manufacturing techniques and provides constant inspiration to expand the realm of current practices to achieve new and interesting outcomes.
CHALLENGE: the greatest challenge was to prototype a piece that requires this level of precision, all the while knowing that the technology exists to do so with ease. but, recognizing the simplicity of manufacturing such a piece, served as the greatest motivation to do so, by hand.
