My Centiseat, it’s a bench that looks like a worm!

Where do you find inspiration?
Honestly, I can’t say I find inspiration from one specific source, it various from design to design. It can sometimes be a piece of art, just a random thought or even other designs/designers.
The theme for this year is Raw Comfort, what does Raw Comfort mean to you?
Finding comfort in nature (natural simplistic lines) to the max.
Which item can a home not do without?
Every home needs a dining/kitchen table that brings everyone together.
