Mike’s philosophy for Kurva Design is to produce beautiful functional pieces made with sustainability in mind. To that end, Mike focuses on using materials and finishes that are sustainable and eco-friendly, and wherever possible, he uses the services of other local businesses in his endeavors, whether it is for buying timber or metal, or seeking out supporting services for running Kurva Design.

How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"I think about design all the time. I am forever imagining different possibilities that I later try out. With bent lamination, there can be a lot of experimentation involved for getting an end result that is just as you want it. For me, the most exciting part of my process is when I realize that an idea that I have been thinking about is coming together and looks beautiful. Sometimes it is the way I had imagined, and other times, there’s a bit of serendipity. My favourite moments are when I take a piece of wood out of the vacuum bag and look at the curves and lines and think....yes, I love the line- it worked!!!"
