About Pepe Valenti
Pepe Valenti works within the fields of product, and installation design with a strong focus on materiality. He employs an intuitive and hands-on approach, where he explores his fascination for materials. The work results from a search to understand materials and processes, and he does so by physically experimenting with them: thinking through making. His inspiration comes from raw and untouched matters surrounding us, while his work remains very polished and refined, creating an interesting contrast between the source and the outcome.
