Arc One is a lounge seating solution formed from a single bent sheet metal surface without welding or assembly. The structure reduces production complexity and cost while enabling stackable storage and transport. A removable leather cushion allows color variation, easy renewal and extended product lifespan through long term adaptability.
Soo No. 2 is a wooden chair designed for everyday seating. In most chairs the rear legs continue upward to support the backrest. In Soo No. 2 the rear legs and the backrest supports are separated into independent elements. The separation improves structural stability and creates a clear visual balance. The legs are cylindrical and the seat is woven with Danish cord. All structural joints use mortise and tenon joinery, and through joints form small diamond-shaped details along the sides of the frame. The armrests and backrest supports are fixed with discreet brass pins.
This stool was inspired by the word Musubi. Musubi is an ancient Japanese Shinto concept, and it is the idea that things and life are formed by connecting various things. The shape of this stool is based on the motif of a Mizuhiki bow knot. When viewed from the front, the design is linear, but when viewed from an angle, the seat appears to have a gentle curve. When not in use, it can be folded up for compact storage. It can be easily assembled by simply inserting the parts without using nails or screws.
Gera is a wooden design informed by Brazilian modernist furniture and the structural clarity present in the work of Geraldo de Barros. Crafted from certified Brazilian jequitiba wood and natural leather, it contains no metal components or visible fasteners. Concealed joinery preserves visual continuity, while tensioned leather surfaces respond to the body. Through material reduction, responsible sourcing, and structural precision, the work articulates an investigation into ergonomics and sustainable permanence.
Willow is an extendable dining table inspired by contemporary architecture. A minimalist metal frame supports the wooden top and holds it slightly apart, creating a suspended effect. The legs are the distinctive feature, fitted with curved sheet metal covers that can be finished in leather or wood and replaced over time. The same wood finish chosen for the top can be applied to the covers, giving material continuity and visual harmony. A fluid extension mechanism is fully integrated, expanding the table from 280 to 380 centimetres without altering the closed configuration.
Wall A2 is a freestanding television stand with casters. The compact base allows placement anywhere in a room. Televisions from 24 to 80 inches made by different manufacturers can be mounted without drilling holes in the wall. Five height levels are available, and the viewing angle, orientation and position can be changed by hand. The structure is a steel pipe welded to a plate, finished with satin powder coating and a woodgrain surface on the pillar. Cables run inside the pillar and stay hidden from view.
