Ydin

Ydin stool can be mounted by yourself, without using special tools, thanks to a simple interlocking system. The 4 identical feet are placed in no particular order and the concrete seat, acting as the keystone, keeps everything in place. Feet are made with scrap wood coming from a stairs manufacturer, easily machined using traditional woodworking techniques and finally oiled. The seat is simply moulded in a lasting fiber-reinforced UHP Concrete. Only 5 dissociable parts to be flat packed and ready to be shipped to final customers, is another sustainability argument.

Spirito

Magic attracts people, and predictions of the future and netherworld especially. In search, people conduct spiritualistic sessions with a glass ball.

The LED is located in a base and throws its light up. It makes the gradient shade luminous and re-reflects the light down, creating a halo of light. Elements are put on each other. It helps avoid the unnecessary mounts. The name was inspired by the books of the founder of spiritualism; Allan Kardec.

Bangkok

The architecture of the ancient Thai temple became the inspiration for the collection. These structures reflect the principles of the Buddhist universe about the ghostly nature of life. This is expressed in the tiered structure. Between each tier there are light windows that fill the center of the temple with light and illuminate relics. Applying this principle to the design, it was made of several rows of glasses, and LEDs. This creates colorful glare on glass elements and scattered light. Silhouettes were based on the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok.
