Flip

Flip Chair is inspired by the serene feeling of sitting on a grassy lawn, where one can enjoy the natural softness, warmth, and gentle breeze of the environment. The chair's flip theme embodies the graceful movement of grass in the wind, creating a dynamic and organic form. To achieve this effect, the fluidity and folds of the chair's seat are simulated and the wood was bent into shape using steam. The resulting product was then meticulously handcrafted to provide users with an authentic and immersive natural experience.

Farol

Created by Katia Martins and Tiago Russo, Farol is the materialization of years of studies and tests in order to achieve a great lighting solution, environment-friendly, and that could create the most visual impact with minimalist lines and bold, neutral colours. A mixture of steel and cork, of contemporary lines and heritage, Farol relies on its angular geometry and central fixing to create the most impact with no visible components apart from the main conical shaping. A lamp made to be combined with others, Farol unleashes great visual impact recurring only to its minimal, angled geometry.

Layer

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.

Wood

The Wood luminaire was designed in 2017 with the clear intention of being different from what was seen on the market then. It refers to and is inspired by the classic designs of the 60s. It is made entirely of solid wood and turned by hand, a material that transmits warmth and thanks to its nobility it has a distinguished quality and presentation. Design with simple and clean lines, where the cable that breaks with a paradigm stands out, not only because it comes out of the top of the product but also because it is an exclusive design cable with jute mesh and details of golden lurex threads.
