— The shapes of the objects you create,differ from the standard ones - they are a little deeper, a little higher or a little smaller. What is the reason for this? - It is very important for me that things are elegant and different from each other. You can draw an analogy with fashion - if a woman, for example, always wears dresses of the same color, it ceases to be interesting. Using new forms in the production of certain interior items, we create new trends, a new style, a new direction.
Our opinion:— Francis Sultan's works are an amazing combination of shapes and contours of objects from past years and modern high-tech materials. The designer's style is unique and recognizable. — If a person chooses an item from your collection, does this mean that he needs to use the rest of the items from it in the interior? — I focus on the fact that any item from my new collection can be easily combined with items from other collections. Returning to analogies from fashion: you can buy clothes from different designers, but create the image that will please you.
— What is your favorite piece you have created in the last year? — It is a chair called Matako from the Marc de Berny collection.
