Vigvam

Vigvam is a lightweight and easy to transport or storage item. It consists of plywood veneered base and a set of hooks in the form of stylized deer antlers. The inspiration of this project comes from light-weight and stable construction of vigvam - a typical form of home of Indians. Also, vigvam form was widespread among other nomadic tribes. Since most of these tribes were hunters we also added antlers as a symbol of deers. Deer antlers is an old symbol of protection, welfare and guarding.

Hus

Hus is a small table that can also serve as a storage space or as a miniature house for children to play and learn the rudiments of arranging space. Many traditional dollhouses do not allow children to exercise their imagination and spatial planning, which is reflected also in adulthood. Hus familiarizes children with the principles of architecture and attentively designed interiors and lets them explore materials used in construction, like wood, concrete and clear panels. It is a piece of furniture which connects different generations by allowing them to spend quality time together.

Interactive Light

Léon

Léon means to engage the user in a lighting experience, leaving behind traditional archetypes of home lighting and with this the physical switch. Employing two proximity sensors controlling hue and brightness, the user lifts and lowers their hands over these sensors to determine the lighting effect. As light is intangible, it is apt that the switch should be too. Through a more poetic interaction with light, Lewis believes the user will find a renewed sensitivity to the lighting atmospheres they create.
