Sama

Sama is an authentic furniture series that provides functionality, emotional experience and uniqueness through its minimal, practical forms and strong visual effect. The cultural inspiration drawn from the poetry of whirling costumes worn in Sama ceremonies is reinterpreted in its design through a play of conic geometry and metal bending techniques. The sculptural posture of the series is combined with simplicity in materials, forms and production techniques, to offer functional & aesthetic benefits. The result is a modern furniture series providing a distinctive touch to living spaces.

Lido

The Lido folds into a small rectangular box. When folded, it serves as a storage box for small items. If they lift the side plates, joint legs project out from the box and Lido transforms into a tea table or a small desk. Likewise, if they completely unfold the side plates on both sides, it transforms into a large table, with the upper plate having width of 75 Cm. This table can be used as a dining table, especially in Korea and Japan where sitting on the floor while dining is a common culture.

Duo

Duo is a modular system, capable of creating a spatial graphic sign which captures the 1960s mid-century modern vibe. The modules are easily assembled and disassembled with rubber bands, without any tools, allowing the user to adjust the aesthetic to their own liking.

The Intelligent Eggshell

It is a combination of traditional hand-made eggshell porcelain and modern voice control light. It is an attempt to revive the folk arts that may not conform to the functions and aesthetics of contemporary society. The housing is ergonomic with a tapered design which is not only curved back to fit nicely in your hand, but also not easy to be knocked over. The point-line-surface carved texture like a shining night sky in the light. It can also have your hands free for the voice control function.

Architectural Lighting

Benaki Museum Pavilion, Greece

The signature entrance iron door holds exhibit cases and the concept was the lighting to be part of the structure. The lighting of the interior is also discreet and achieved with adjustable spots in recessed tracks between the ceiling wooden beams, so as not to interfere with the general aesthetics, but to provide lighting adaptability. The aluminum foam shelves with their shimmering glow are given more emphasis with a dramatic effect of the cove lighting in cool white. The desired atmosphere was completed by tiny recessed track spotlights in the shelves, to highlight the artifacts.
