Side projects like designing fashion for the Italian shoe industry where another challenge. From 2005 he is working on furniture projects, as his screw clamp furniture line. The idea centers around screw clamps being used as functional - and design objects. Due to its multifunctional attributes, the use of screw clamps, whose brackets are pressed onto a workpiece by a screw spindle, enables extended utilization e.g. design of a new furniture aesthetics. A milestone was his limited edition colander table with its visual effect, which makes objects float. With this project he entered in the international design and art gallery scene.
