Galaktika is an armchair designed especially for airport VIP lounges or public spaces where people need to spend more time and their staying have to be comfortable. This armchair has double function. It can be used either for sitting or resting. Depending on your needs you can choose one of the two position. The upper bar is rotatable and can be used to attach electronic devices.
Inspiring is an interactive candlestick designed for indoor and outdoor use. Two single candle holders are held on a U-shaped iron frame by small magnets, so each holder can be placed at any position along the frame. Users arrange the composition freely and change it at will. When the candles are not in use, the holders are stored inside the base, which protects the candles from evaporation and staining. The frame and the base are joined by friction and can be separated, so the candlestick packs into two compact pieces for camping. The base can also serve alone as a candle platform.
Flow is a table inspired by the QiaoAn, a traditional Chinese furniture type used to display art objects and paintings. The two raised ends of the QiaoAn prevented items from falling, and the same feature is applied to Flow. The table measures 1800 by 800 by 750 millimeters and is made of black walnut and brass. The wooden and metal parts are shaped with computer numerical control machining, and the top is built with a mortise and tenon structure. Craftsmen then finish each surface by fine hand grinding.
Kickproof is a quilt designed for school-age children between three and twelve years of age. The quilting follows the curves of a child's body, and the shoulder area is filled more thickly to stop warm air from escaping. A type-X inner structure adds gentle downward resistance, which reduces the tendency to kick the quilt aside during sleep. A widened fishtail opening leaves room for free leg movement. The filling is a soft fiber similar to down, and the fabric is treated against bacteria and can be machine washed.
Side-Sleep is a pillow designed for people who sleep on their side. The pillow has two layers. The upper layer uses a butterfly wing form inspired by bionics and softly wraps the head, while the lower layer supports the head and holds the height of the neck. A hand can be placed in the gap between the two layers to avoid soreness and numbness caused by nerve compression. The two layers can be used together, or the upper layer can be used alone. The outer fabric is cotton satin and the filling is white goose down.
Venus is an adjustable study desk designed for children learning at home. The height can be set freely between 520 and 760 millimetres by a foldable winding handle placed at the front, so the desk can be adjusted while the user remains seated. The tabletop tilts through a gas spring adjustment. A multifunctional box on the desktop provides storage and wireless charging for phones and tablets. The desk is made mainly of plywood, with medium carbon steel legs coated in environmentally friendly powder. Venus supports healthy sitting and study postures from kindergarten to university.
Free Conversion is a storage rack designed for narrow indoor spaces. The rack can stand on the floor or be fixed to a wall. Two-way tracks on both sides allow each storage basket to slide up and down, while transverse tracks allow the baskets to be pulled forward or pushed back. Baskets that are rarely used can be moved to the inner layer. The frame is made of metal, and the baskets are lined with linen that can be removed and cleaned. Colour marks on the front of each basket identify the stored items, such as toys, blankets and clothing.
Era is a backless chair designed as a sculptural seating element for interiors. The base is formed by metal rods fixed between an upper and a lower pole, each held by a metal ring with holes set at calculated angles. The rods turn around a central axis, and the reflection of light between the lines creates a sense of movement. All fastening elements are hidden, so the structure reads as a clear form. The seat is covered with foam and leather, and a plywood plate inside prevents the foam from deforming. Era measures 500 millimeters high, 450 wide and 450 deep.
Pad is a folding chair designed to save space. The chair folds into a flat panel that measures 41 cm in length, 4 cm in width and 86 cm in height. Several folded panels can be stacked and stored together. To open the chair, the bottom beam is pulled down so the seat and the legs come out. The seat is then folded up by 90 degrees, and the legs are folded down by 90 degrees. Pad is made of teak, a wood that is stable, wear resistant and protected against decay and insects. The flat form suits homes and public places.
Piece Of Your Story is a coffee table that brings tattoo art into interior decoration. The top is made of wood, covered with hand tattooed leather and coated with epoxy resin, so wet, hot or cold objects can be placed on the surface without staining. The leather is hand stitched to give an authentic look. The leg is made of brushed steel, creating a balance between industrial and elegant. The leg can be taken apart and fitted on the back of the table, so the piece takes less space during transport.
Yakamoz is a collection of kilim rugs that takes its inspiration from the poetry of light reflections on the sea surface. The abstract patterns represent the alluring sight of the reflected moonlight over the Aegean Sea and are handwoven to these kilim rugs by Anatolian weavers. The kilim rugs in the collection merge the spirit and sensibilities of centuries old craft traditions of Anatolian kilim weaving with a contemporary, artisanal and sensual design approach, with the aim to bring the atmosphere of Aegean coastal nature to the everyday life of interiors.
The Bridge is a sideboard designed for use in homes and offices. The cabinet is made of 30 mm thick solid reclaimed jarrah, taken from roof beams of demolished houses in Perth, Western Australia. The cabinet is suspended by white acrylic solid surface legs, which also pass through the piece and form part of the top. Recessed handles and bevelled drawer edges create a minimalist look. The drawers run on soft close, full extension runners, and traditional butt hinges allow the doors to open 160 degrees. A clear polyurethane finish protects both materials.
