Paq

Utilising space at home is made easy. 'Paq' saves space and time: it transforms from armchair to bed with just one zipper move. It’s as simple as it can be: just pull the zipper and your chair transforms into a bed. It has a built in storage unit for your beddings. Zip again, and you have an armchair! Maform experienced with paper folding to solve the problem of small multi-purpose spaces. By folding a cylinder from a rectangle and pushing one side in, it looked like a chair. The idea was found: scaled up, this is the simplest solution for a chair bed.

ON the table

This is an arcade-styled video game console to play vintage video games from the 80's and 90's, and it is dedicated to adults who grew up with those video games in their childhood. However, having a normal video game console could ruin the ambience of your sophisticated living room. Here is a solution. This is not just a game console, but it transforms to a stylish modern coffee table when it is not played.

Exocet

Exocet is an innovative concept chair. The ergonomic design allows to transform it into various furniture styles. From a tall chair to a double lounge chair or hammock-style rocker, it can be configured in several ways to meet different needs and wants. The Exocet is crafted from a single main piece. Identical slats are assembled around a cylinder offering a 360˚ rotation. Once the desired configuration is obtained, the user simply tightens the handle to lock the chair into position. Exocet is a new kind of chair for all kinds of moments.

Teca

Teca is a wooden ceiling light made by blown glass, hand turned wood and metal. Each wooden lampshade is made by turning using various woods, enclosed in a bubble of blown transparent glass that levels the appearance. Elegant and exclusive for the high quality of the components, each piece is a unique and unrepeatable object. The main elements of this lamp are indeed the experience in woodturning and the fine research of the light through the wood. Each wood has its own story, its own reaction to the lathe and to the time, and only a thorough study of this story made this project possible.
