Continue readingNUI is a nascent, wood-specific assembly system that seeks to redefine our connection and interaction with wood. The system is made up of a growing collection of polymer connectors, designed to create diverse: spatial, dimensional, aesthetic and structural configurations. Moreover, this innovative, hands-on approach to wood manufacturing allows for high-end, solid-wood designs to be: assembled, lock, unlocked and if need be, disassembled. As it evolves, this modular system aspires to improve the way and efficiency with which this life-giving resource is utilized.
Continue readingA simple hypothesis about changing chair's form inspires an idea of provoking human activity: by turning chair's two dimensional back into three dimension, the Broccoli becomes a chair with no front or back, left or right. As a result, the ways of interaction between people and chair have been expanded, more possibilities of action encourages people to use the Broccoli variously.
