Architech

After, two years of researching various organic shapes and structures to create a truly unique and functional 3D Printed lattice design.

These interconnecting lattice beams can only be manufactured by 3D Printing, and could never be replicated by conventional molding processes. This upper design uses a 3D Auxetic pattern, which can stretch and adapt to the foot shape.

One Main

One Main is an office refurbishment that relentlessly deploys numeric command machining of sustainable plywood to evidence the versatility and efficiency available via CAD-CAM design-build processes. The project displaces the combinatorial logic of ready-made components typical of late-industrial process for a seamless and non-standard protocol of customized fabrication. A formal aesthetic emerges from these processes, imbuing the design with a curvilinear continuity at a detail and spatial level.

RiutBag R15

RiutBag is the backwards backpack for secure urban travel. RiutBag, pronounced "riot bag", revolves 180 degrees to place all openings safely against your back. Why? With a conventional backpack, the person behind you can access your belongings better than you can. That’s an unnerving design fault in today's densely packed cities, bags full of tech. Now city travellers can go anywhere with peace of mind allowing them to truly adapt to urban life. RiutBag users build the RiutBag of the future because RiutBag design is powered by user thinking, experience and feedback.
