Colored Finch

Colored Finch is a chair inspired by the shape of a finch. The backrest appears straight from the front and curves at the sides, combining form and comfort. The backrest and seat are made of handmade multi-layer wood, shaped as double-layer curved wood. The legs are metal tubes covered with layers of handmade fabric. The limited use of non-renewable materials in the legs supports environmental care. Sixteen prototypes were built, and a test dummy was used to study seating positions and set the final size. The chair measures 490 mm in width, 550 mm in depth and 810 mm in height.

B Fora

B Fora is a ceramic vase designed for home interiors. The form reinterprets the classic Greek amphora and adds curved surfaces and two straight handles. The proportions were studied so that the vase stays in balance after it is removed from the mould. The inside is dipped in a glossy crystalline coating that makes the vase waterproof, so liquids can be held safely. B Fora can be used to serve beverages, to hold flowers or as a decorative object. The vase is made of whiteware ceramic through the slipcasting technique.

Ring

Ring is a bookshelf inspired by the golden ratio and by the Vitruvian Man of Leonardo da Vinci. A metal sheet is bent by hand into a circle and fixed to a solid wooden base. Brass rods are placed at equal distances on the base and form the square that completes the golden ratio outline. The rods pass through holes in three of the five shelves, while the two other shelves rest on bent rods. Ring can stand against a wall or divide two areas of a room. The design is intended as a keeper of knowledge.

Golden Butterfly

Golden Butterfly is a chair designed for household interiors. The form is abstracted from a butterfly, drawing on the silhouette, the wing patterns and the natural colors of the insect. The frame is made of metal, selected for long service life and a very low damage rate. Each chair receives more than thirteen hand spray painting procedures, and all coatings are eco-friendly paints. The seat pad is made of microfiber instead of genuine leather. The chair measures 550 mm in width, 550 mm in depth and 710 mm in height.

Public Bench

Plastic Recurrence

Plastic Recurrence is a series of public benches made from recycled household plastic waste. The twelve benches were designed for a district town hall in Hong Kong, using plastic collected from the same district. Each bench is assembled from only two module types, repeated in varied lengths and rotations. The rotated modules form curved shapes that recall ripples on a river. Tactile textures and uneven colour make every bench distinct. The curved form gently separates users and lets children sit in free postures.
