Louvre

Louvre light is an interactive table lamp inspired by the greek summer sunlight that passes easily from closed shutters through louvres. It is Consisted of 20 rings, 6 of cork and 14 of plexiglass, which change order with a playful way so as to transform diffusion, volume and the final aesthetic of the light according to users' preferences and needs.

Rings with different heights give the opporunity of endless combinations, safe customisation and total light control.

TIND End Table

The TIND End Table is a small, eco-friendly table with a strong visual presence. The recycled steel top has been waterjet-cut with an intricate pattern that creates vivid light and shadow patterns. The shapes of the bamboo legs are determined by the patterning in the steel top, and each of the fourteen legs passes through the steel top and then is cut flush. Seen from above, the carbonized bamboo creates an arresting pattern, juxtaposed against the perforated steel. Bamboo is a rapidly renewable raw material, since bamboo is a rapidly-growing grass, not a wood product.
