Every year, we witness the intense blooming of some ancient roses outside our showroom window. Their beauty was the inspiration to start the ROSES Series.
Each year, I create one instrument, colored with the natural extract from that season’s petals.
The color of this particular instrument contains the essence of the 2024 bloom.
The first time I cleaned my patio with a pressure washer, I was fascinated by how the otherwise smooth surface suddenly revealed its true, natural texture. What kind of surface do I get when I combine natural texture with man-made wear? Once, I got the pressure washer jet too close to my skin.

A few years ago, I found a beautifully figured piece of flamed ash at a lumber fair. After fine-sanding the shaped guitar body, I was fascinated by the three-dimensionality of the wood surface. It somehow reminded me of the play of light on an emerald. This inspired the guitar's final coloring.

The Raptor body shape is one of my most dynamic designs. I was inspired by this extraordinary design while watching a bird of prey show at our neighboring wildlife park. The aggressively pointed talons during an attack inspired the lower horn of this body shape, and I wanted to reflect the bird's approaching shape in the dynamics of the entire body. The orange color of this special instrument gives the bass an even more intense energy. But where do you end up when you walk across the bridge?

You must see the short video we did to really understand this instrument:

Nature never ceases to fascinate me. Endless combinations of patterns and colors. This Roya's top is once again a perfect example of this. All coloring is natural – we didn't dye anything. A sensational masterpiece of nature.

One of my clients wanted to create a lasting memory of all the concerts he's attended throughout his life. Tickets are usually kept for a few weeks or months, and then thrown away because they just sit around gathering dust. Yet they are important witnesses to the cultural experiences of our lives. They almost always contain memories of fascinating moments – they are emotional anchors to the past. By building this Intune Frame, we created a lasting stage for these memories and also the opportunity to revive some of them in the here and now by playing the instrument.

The variety of Poplar Burl structures is so infinitely versatile. I'm always fascinated by the final abstract painting that emerges from the fine sanding of the wood surface. With a light blue tint, I always create views of different continents and ocean regions.It's simply one of my favorite wood/paint combinations.
