Beautiful things for everyday life
What is the point of furniture if it doesn't bring you joy in everyday life? That is the key question for Portuguese designer Hugo Passos, who lives in London in the UK. According to Passos, design must above all fulfil its purpose, be easy to use and bring joy to its owner. A design object that doesn't do its job perfectly isn't worth using every day – or at all.
Passos takes care to turn high-quality materials into functional forms while still creating a design object that is beautiful and simple in appearance.
