Anchored in near or distant territories, Dorian observes cultures and histories, techniques and materials. The richness of the world's cultural heritages inspires him throughout his work. Following this lead thread, braided of Human and Nature, he creates sensible and sensitive products : “objets métissés”.
Furthermore, experimentation is at the heart of his creation. The new features of the material are his library of ideas ; then he invents new uses. Fundamentally his approach is respectful of the environment, from design to production.
