“I always ask myself these questions: Is it innovative? Does it look good? Is it easy to make? If I can answer yes to all three then I know I’m onto a winner.”

“We are not here to reinvent the wheel. We just got the wheel and used it in a different way,” says Falecki. “The design process is very simple. Identify all limitations and then design to that. Of course I’m inspired by architecture and nature but the bottom line for me is strict limitations. I always ask myself these questions: Is it innovative? Does it look good? Is it easy to make? If I can answer yes to all three then I know I’m onto a winner.” Falecki points out that his hectic lifestyle has not once hindered his ability to continue designing and building and that the progression of his career has only enabled him incomparable exposure over the years. This has heavily influenced his decisionmaking processes and has moulded him into the creative genius that he is today.

“I’ve been involved in television for nearly seven years now. In a transient industry based on short term contracts, staying with one show for that long means that not only is the work challenging but more importantly fun. It does help, however, that the industry is full of highly capable and creative misfits who don’t quite fit in the ‘real world,’” says Falecki. The formula for instituting a successful furniture business or any sort of business according to Falecki is to not ‘over-think’ it and also understanding that learning from previous experiences is paramount. “I have failed so many times that I ultimately expect it as a part of the path to success. I’m worried if something doesn’t go wrong… there is almost not enough wood to touch. I just embrace failure, love change and ultimately expect success,” Falecki explains.
As Falecki constantly observes, touches, experiments and questions, it’s apparent that his passion is creating and his motivation is curiosity; and consequently, the future of Falecki Furniture remains bright. Both aesthetically and pertinently, Falecki and his team have revolutionised the way we arrange space - and all through holistic and uncomplicated principles. In an industry with an ever-changing climate, Falecki Furniture has made firm grounding and shows us all that forward thinking is viable by bringing the basics back - It’s simple. faleckifurniture.com
