Currently, Cris lead an international design team, Idée Etcetera HQ in Singapore providing bespoke professional design and strategic solution. The driving factor behind Cris and Idée Etcetera’s success stems from their adopted mascot the world famous Eiffel Tower. Erected from scratch within a year, naysayers wrote off the landmark’s chances of becoming an effective monument, let alone to be completed so efficiently back when industrial and technological resources were scarce.

Cris shared how the Eiffel Tower serves a functional purpose beyond simply looking majestic while providing a striking panoramic view; each pillar at the base actually points towards four different landmarks and places of interests in France. It is these very hallmarks that illustrate the Tower’s conception and purpose that resonate with every of his projects: speed, timelessness and iconic works. Inspired by this enduring tale, Cris leads his team in the creative engineering of clientele needs- focusing on their forte of commercial projects, namely premier restaurants, spa, hospitality and corporate spaces.
