ABOUT .THE ROSE
I didn’t start The Rose with a plan.
I simply wanted to draw bags. To make something beautiful — and find a way to offer it at a fair price. (Also, I really needed a bag.) What began as a personal solution soon became something larger.
Along the way, I met a jewellery maker.
I started designing rings, then other pieces.
And I realised that part of what I had to express — what I couldn’t fully say through buildings anymore — found its place in these smaller, more intimate forms.
Architecture will always be part of me.
But over time, it left less space for the kind of freedom I was longing for — so I began creating elsewhere, on my own terms.
And strangely, I found that I could make an even bigger impact through these quiet objects — not by offering freedom, but a form of empowerment.
Beauty, to me, is not decoration.
It’s a form of empowerment.
It connects us to something essential.
The Rose is not about luxury in the traditional sense.
It’s about dignity. About access.
About honouring craftsmanship and slowing down — not to retreat, but to return to what matters.
Everything we create is made in small batches, with intention and care.
We work with French ateliers in Thailand, a family-run eyewear maker in Italy, and use surplus leathers from luxury houses.
You are part of this circle.
As a partner, not just a customer.
You’ll always have access to pre-orders, personalisation, and co-creation — because design should listen, not dictate.
At the core of every piece is a thread — a connection.
Between you and me.
Between the maker and the wearer.
Between presence and expression.
I’m an architect by training and will always be.
But this — this is what I build now.
