  • WELCOME TO THE COSMIC CUSTOMER CONCERNS™ DEPARTMENT


  • This is where the weird meets the practical. Below you’ll find answers to the questions people actually send me, from the deeply curious to the cosmically unhinged. Whether you’re wondering if my chairs melt in the sun or if you can lick the lamps (please don’t), I’ve got you covered.

    Everything is handmade, minute-counted, dough-wrapped, and occasionally daydream-fueled.

    Ask away.




Q: Is it made of Play-Doh?

A: Close, but no. It’s called Diego Dough, a custom air-dry clay developed over the years based from potatoe starch. It may look playful, but it’s tough stuff once dry.


Q: Can I sit on it?

A: If it’s a chair, yes. If it’s a lamp, probably not. Most pieces are functional, but always feel free to ask.


Q: How long does it take you to make one piece?

A: Everything is made using the Minute Manufacturing system: 1 minute = 1 euro. So if the minute is 184 … well, do the math.


Q: What’s under the dough?

A: I use repurposed objects, from random pieces of wood, discarded EPS to extension cords. The dough gives them new life (and a little attitude).


Q: Can I commission a custom piece?

A: Absolutely. Chairs, trophies, mirrors, lamps… sky’s the limit. Send me a message and we’ll sculpt something together.


Q: Can I put it outside?

A: Some pieces are made for indoor lounging, others are tougher. If you want something for outdoors, I can make it weatherproof.


Q: Do you ship internationally?

A: Yes! Carefully packed, tracked, and lovingly sent from wherever I am in the world.


Q: Do you really work with a timer on?

A: Yes. I like a bit of pressure. It keeps things alive, like cooking pasta al dente.


Q: Can I touch it?

A: In person, yes (gently!). Online, just with your eyes and imagination.


Q: Do you teach workshops?

A: Occasionally. If you’re interested, send me a message, or convince your favorite space to invite me.

Frequently Asked Question

Q: Is Diego Dough alive?

A: It dreams at night and hardens by morning. Sometimes it whispers. I try not to listen.


Q: What happens if I lick it?

A: You’ll taste the spirit of recycled objects and disappointment. Not toxic, but also it has no taste. I did it for you, so don’t.


Q: Can you make me a throne shaped like my dog?

A: Yes, but I’ll need high-res images, a short biography of the dog, and a playlist they’d vibe to.


Q: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever covered in dough?

A: Myself. Accidentally. Long story. Never again.


Q: Is this design or art or furniture or…?

A: Yes.


Q: What if I want to marry one of the chairs?

A: That’s between you and the chair. I won’t judge. But I do charge extra for weddings.


Q: Can you come to my house and make everything weird and beautiful?

A: If you feed me pasta and give me floor space, anything’s possible.


Q: Do you cry while making the pieces?

A: Not cry… but sweat, laugh, hum, and occasionally dance like no one’s watching.


Q: Are the objects haunted?

A: Only by the ghosts of their former selves. But they’re usually friendly.


Q: What is time?

A: In my studio, 1 minute = 1 euro. Outside of that, time is soft, wobbly, and slightly pink.
