However, his creativity isn't confined to the sea.

Christian Grande is more than just a designer; he is a visionary who continues to shape the design world with his innovative ideas and exceptional talent. His work stands as a testament to the transformative power of design in our everyday experiences and the spaces we inhabit.
“A complete designer needs to be linked to the past, the future, to art and technics. It’s a matter of creativity and experience as well. It’s about intuition and sensation. After all, it’s matter of balance. And this is exactly what I found in Jürg’s work and attitude. I think this is the reason why we reached such a pleasant confidence, and the results are these wonderful shoots.”
