Km31

Patrick Sarran created the Km31 for a large spectrum of restaurant uses. The main constraint was multifunctionality. This cart can be used singly for serving one table, or in a row with others for a buffet. The designer devised an articulated Krion top mounted on the same wheeled base he had designed for a range of trolleys such as the KEZA, and later the Kvin, the Herbal Tea Garden, and the Kali, together named the K series. The hardness of the Krion allowed a complete light finish to be chosen, with the sturdiness required for a luxurious establishment.

Embrace Your Heart

With Embrace Your Heart, the chair, that people can sit and drink tea at the same time. The fragrance of the tea and wood would lead people to Zen. People would feel ease, leisure and relaxed. It is in traditional Chinese style and could be well explained in Buddhism cultural aspect. The chair itself is focusing on the spirits that could keep people's hearts calm. Sitting on the chair could drive people away from noise, hustle and bustle.The peace in your mind would let you embrace you heart and people's imagination would reach the great far beyond.

Snow drop

Snow Drop is a ceiling and modular lighting. His convenience is the regulation of its luminosity by modulation thanks to the smooth pulley system. Step by step by playing with the counterweight the user is able to increase and decrease the luminosity. The modulation of this design reminds the different stages of blooming of a snowdrop from the beginning with the tetrahedron to the end with the four triangle fractal. The vintage amber Edison bulb is inserted into a tetrahedral exclusive box made of opalescent white plexi, when the design is closed.

Bench

Row

The theme of this design is a fusion of Japanese material and other material. Furniture combined with rush (tatami) that has been used in Japanese daily life through the ages and metal is little seen because mostly wood has been chosen for it. The combination of tatami and wood is the very “Japanese (Zen)” style in a global sense, however, it may be said that it has limited coordination. On the other hand, this bench is simply unique but also has universality. It takes on modern and minimal characters by combining with aluminum, and matches not only for Japanese but any taste of spaces.
