A wine cellar that draws all eyes. It is handmade and planned for a real wine lover. The combination of the burnished steel frames with partially colored insulating glass, make it look stable but at the same time airy. With special temperature control, this walk-in room provides enough space for cooling, storing and collecting wine. On the opposite side, there is a pivot door, also handmade of burnished steel. In the recesses of the door, the colored glass is found again.
Folding is a side table that also serves as a geometric sculpture meant to be viewed from all sides. The table is made from a single laminated hardwood slab, cut into four pieces and joined again along acute and obtuse angles, so the form appears to have been folded. Long tapered chamfers refine the faceted edges. Dowel joinery, woodworking jigs and special clamping methods are used for the assembly. The slab is folded three times, and each of the four sides presents a different view. Each dimension measures 483 mm.
Wide Paned Surface is a dining table designed for use in several settings within the home. The table is made of ash wood and measures 1800 mm by 800 mm by 760 mm. The legs are carved from single solid wood blocks in a lattice form inspired by traditional Eastern architecture, which supports structural stability. The tabletop is 4 cm thick and the edges are inlaid with natural rattan, a detail that recalls woven eaves and helps prevent cracking. An eco-friendly paint finish is applied. The table can serve family dining, home working and children's activities.
The Cloud Beanbag Chair is a distinctive seating piece with a cloud-inspired, irregular silhouette that blends visual softness with ergonomic stability. Unlike standard beanbags that collapse, its dual-layer design features a refillable liner and a removable, machine-washable cover to preserve shape and comfort. User testing across ages and heights averaged 4.75/5 for emotional relief, often described as a "hug-like" experience. Current research into high-viscose recyclable fabrics supports sustainable use in modern interiors.
The project started with making furniture out of small-diameter trees and scrap wood. Wood in Okinawa is felled due to natural disasters and road expansion. However, in recent years, road expansion has decreased due to environmental considerations, so wood is also shrinking. To continue making Okinawa furniture, it was necessary to use small materials. Therefore, the Layer stool were created by combining various types of wood. It is made from upcycled waste. This design proposes a new value by reconstructing the waste material from Okinawan wood into blocks.
Sketch shelf is an orderly shelf within chaos. Made by digital design method. The design inspiration of the shelf is the building steel skeleton under construction at the construction site. Designer combined line to create a space for storage by using algorithm. Line can be constituted methodically in chaos. Seen from a distance, it is a mess of lines, but it is actually a shelf. And these special shelf come out with not only answers of finding uncertainties, but also beauty of modern technology and art.
Micode is an intelligent home sleep system designed to improve sleep quality. The system combines a mattress, an electric bedstead, a bedside unit and a pillow, the objects used most often in the bedroom. The mattress has a five layer structure with independent springs and partitions that adapt to the body curve to provide even support. The pillow contains a sleep monitoring sensor that records daily sleep and offers suggestions for improvement. Bedstead modes are changed through an application or a remote control, so one bed can serve both rest and leisure.
Wall V4 is a floor-standing television stand designed to hold large screens close to the wall. Televisions up to 90 inches from many manufacturers can be mounted safely at a preferred height. The supporting column offers eight height levels of 5 mm each. Cables and screws are hidden inside a double-layered panel, so the setup stays neat. The base is made from a 2 mm steel plate shaped by pressing and reinforced by a radial frame, which keeps the edge thin and reduces the risk of tripping. Assembly is simple and needs no changes to the room.
Hector is an armchair designed for indoor living spaces. The armchair combines cast aluminium, plywood, leather and solid wood in one piece. Slim solid wood arms appear to float around the upholstery, because the metal supports are hidden beneath the seat or covered with leather. Brass buttons look like upholstery details, yet they also help to hold the structure. Two delicate cast aluminium ornaments mark the back and set the position of the backrest. An internal solid wood frame, covered with foam and fabric, gives firm support. Varied textures allow customisation.
This piece draws inspiration from the contrast between concrete and greenery found in everyday urban environments. Natural organic elements are translated into a geometric design language. The surface evokes rain soaked concrete while fabrics express material roughness and irregularity. Cool grey accents and a uniform desk mat emphasize texture and tonal relationships. Blended faux moss introduces a restrained yet perceptible organic presence. Through careful control of footprint and height the piece achieves visual balance within its environment.
Plump is a modular seating collection designed for public and office spaces. The seat is made of foam and upholstered in fabric, and the frame is made of natural ash wood. Modules can be combined into compositions that suit both large open areas and small rooms. A single module measures 800 mm in width, 800 mm in depth and 650 mm in height. On request, modules can be equipped with a USB socket or a table. The plinth is either wooden or covered with upholstery fabric. Built-in charging points allow devices to be charged during waiting periods.
Sway is a way to explore your own rhythm and patterns. Through observing and discovering these occasional unconscious movements, it has been noted that people sometimes exhibit unconscious behaviors, such as rocking, when entering a state of mental flow. By incorporating a pendulum beneath the seat, the height and the unique sensation that a bar stool provides are leveraged. It provides stability and controlled, small-scale rocking that allows users to explore and find their own rhythm. With its high bar stool design and rocking motion, Sway promotes a calming and contemplative state of mind.
