The table is made of different pieces of plywood that are glued together under pressure. The surfaces are sandpapered and threated with a matt and very strong varnish. There are 2 levels -since the inside of the table is hollow- which is very practical for placing magazines or plaids. Under the table there are build in bullet wheels. So the gap between floor and table is very small, but at the same time, it is easy to move. The way the plywood is used (vertical) makes it very strong.
Dyhan lounge concept combines modern design with traditional eastern ideas and principles of inner peace by connecting with nature. Using the Lingam as form inspiration & the Bodhi-tree and Japanese gardens as a basis on the concept's modules, Dhyan (sanskrit for meditate) transforms the eastern philosophies into varied configurations, allowing the user to choose his/her path to zen/relaxation. The water-pond mode surrounds the user with a waterfall & pond, while the garden mode surrounds the user with greenery. The standard mode contains storage areas under a platform that acts as a shelf.
Time Book is a bookend designed for use on a desk or a bookshelf. Each bookend is made from a hand-polished crystal glass block. Special ink is screen printed on the surface and cured at high temperature. The high density of the crystal glass gives the bookend stability in use. The design is minimal in function, form and material, and resembles a book-shaped sculpture. The form presents the function clearly. The printed text uses the Quinsay Parto typeface. The letters MMXIX on the spine are the Roman numerals for 2019.
Codependent melds psychology and design, specifically focusing upon the physical manifestation of a psychological condition, codependency. These two intertwined tables must rely upon each other to function. The two forms are incapable of standing alone, but together create one functional form. The final table is a powerful example of which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
This stool is designed to help one to maintain neutral sitting-standing posture. By observing people’s daily behavior, the design team found the need for people to sit on stools for a shorter period of time such as sitting in the kitchen for a quick break, which inspired the team to create this stool specifically to accommodate such behavior. This stool is designed with minimal parts and structures, making the stool affordable and cost-efficient for both buyers and sellers by taking into account the productivity of manufactures.
Bada is a chair designed to encourage regular changes in sitting posture. Long periods of sitting place added pressure on the lower back. When a user leans into a bent posture, the seat plate rotates and creates an inclination of about eight degrees. The body then slides slowly, so the user is prompted to sit upright again. The body of the chair is made of solid white oak, and the connecting bar is made of stainless steel. Curved forms express the rotation and sliding of the seat. The chair measures 500 mm in width, 580 mm in depth and 750 mm in height.
