Idriss mainly produces, in his atelier in Florence, unique pieces of free inspiration and realizes custom made creations.
His free-inspired creations are not determined by a precise project because Idriss often takes the inspiration directly from the materials he encounters in his researches in Tuscany, materials that are often used for other purposes including metal, acrylic and wood. He’s able to discover the aesthetic and unusual applications by creating objects that are then often embellished with details in crystals and stones.
