BuySome of Max’s most personal pieces, such as the Twin cabinet, are rooted in intimate experiences — notably grief.
Here, furniture goes beyond its practical function: it becomes a receptacle for memory and affection, a kind of contemporary reliquary that is both utilitarian and symbolic. Max envisions these objects as spaces that hold traces of those we love — fragments of life imbued with emotional resonance that transcends their primary use. In a world shaped by fast consumption and planned obsolescence, he proposes another path: an aesthetic of continuity and relationship. His work stands in opposition to the logic of standardization through meticulous making, where time, gesture, and material leave a visible and tangible imprint. The object is no longer limited to function alone: it becomes a link between generations, and a reminder of our belonging to the living world — not as distant observers of nature, but as beings entirely and inseparably part of it.
