Otsuchi

Otsuchi is a table lamp made from deer leather sourced in Otsuchi, Iwate, Japan. The town was struck by the tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Local crops were later damaged as the number of deer increased and the number of residents declined. Local hunters began a game meat business to make use of deer hunted as pests. The lamp is built from a 3D printed structure covered with deer leather, and the texture recalls the form of a living animal. The design honors the life of the deer and offers a calm presence.

Soo no.2

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.

Kinetic Desk Lamp

Nevi

Designed by Andrei LiLo, Nevi is a desk lamp built around a self centering kinetic system. Constructed from hand finished Aisi 304 stainless steel, the lamp features a spherical base and a slender vertical stem. It functions as a task light with a focused beam, while also responding to touch with a gentle oscillation that returns the object to its vertical axis. The project extends to its aluminum packaging, which is designed to transform into a secondary ambient light. Released as a numbered limited edition, Nevi explores the relationship between kinetic behavior and material presence.

Ebisu

Ebisu is a residential writing desk designed to integrate work into domestic environments. The restrained proportions and balanced geometry allow the desk to engage with the living space rather than dominate it. A leather writing surface is flush mounted into the top, forming a continuous work plane. The structure is made of CNC machined MDF clad in natural pau ferro veneer and finished with matte acrylic varnish. Aged brass is used on edges, internal drawer dividers and a custom power box. Wiring is concealed through the legs to preserve formal clarity.

Anima

Anima is an outdoor lamp designed for garden and landscape lighting. The main components are made of premium acrylic glass, which withstands temperature changes and physical impacts. Two decorative elements with a water pattern interact with integrated LED lights to create a caustic effect that recalls natural water. LEDs placed above and beside the acrylic parts give warm, diffused light directed upward and downward. The precision machined metal body houses an LED module with specialized optics. The lamp is 750 mm high and 170 mm wide.
