Lens

Lens is a minimal pendant light designed for professional lighting projects. The body is made of aluminium, turned on a lathe in two pieces that are joined together. A COB LED with a 35 degree lens and a triac dimmable driver give high light output with a colour rendering index above 90. Colour temperatures of 2700K, 3000K and 4000K are offered. The 3 millimetre wire allows a suspension distance of up to 3 metres. Recessed and surface installation are both possible. Finishes are black, white or a custom colour.

Lu

Many times people need to be able to store objects, perhaps to make room, perhaps to clean the house and sometimes even to take them with them, but especially for furniture of a certain level it is always very difficult. Thus was born "Lu", a dining chair suitable for different types of target. The design is innovative and elegant at the same time and the name "Lu" derives from "luggage" because of its ease of being resealable and transportable wherever you want (during a move, in a holiday home, etc).

Elytra

Elytra is designed in a way that allows the user easy access to increase the table top surface because of its non-static nature. The biomimetic, dynamic table's surfaces are split into four broad parts, including a wooden "head" and "body" as well as two glass-inlay wings that can be opened out simultaneously to expand the table's surface to store an extra few cups of tea, a planter or two, and perhaps a notebook to doodle your ideas on.

Standly Bao

Standly Bao is a folding standing support chair for workers who must stand for long periods. The design holds the body in a balanced standing posture while allowing the same freedom of movement as standing. A three point pressure method fixes the hip, the knee and the foot, so stress on the lower limbs is reduced and poor posture is avoided. The user pulls out the frame, rests the knees on the lower pad and leans on the upper pad. A spring returns the frame to its original position, and the folded form gives space back to narrow work areas such as bar and store counters.

Zero

Zero is a modular sun lounger designed for outdoor areas. The seat rests on a cylindrical support, which balances the lounger and forms a sculptural element. The cylinder comes in two modular lengths, 0.90 meters and 1.80 meters, so one lounger or several units can be combined. The pieces can be placed on opposite sides or on the same side, suiting many layouts in homes, hotels and swimming pool areas. The cylinder is made of solid Cumaru wood screwed to an aluminum core. The molded aluminum seat has an anatomical curve for comfort.
