Acorn Leisure Chair

Acorn Leisure Chair is a multifunctional seat inspired by the shape of an acorn. The backrest follows the curve of the human back and supports a correct sitting posture for reading and other calm activities. The frame is made of solid wood, shaped by computer controlled cutting and hand grinding, and is completed with metal lines bent by hand heating. The wood and metal parts are joined with hardware and can be taken apart for transport. A large open space under the seat can be used for storage or as a resting place for pets.

Classic

Classic is a writing desk designed in a new Chinese style. The design adapts the raised end table form of traditional Chinese furniture, where the two raised ends reduce the chance of scrolls and other items falling from the surface. The desk is made of red oak, while cast iron forms the connections between the tabletop, the seat and the legs. A lower shelf adds storage space. The metal parts are shaped by computer controlled machining, and the curved sections are finished by hand. The desk top uses a traditional Chinese panel splicing method.

Phan

Phan Collection is inspired by the phan container that is a Thai container culture. The designer uses the structure of phan containers to make the structure of furniture that makes it strong. Design the form and detail that make it modern and simple. The designer used laser-cut technology and a folding metal sheet machine combination with CNC wood for making a complex and unique detail that is different than others. The surface has been finished with a powder-coated system to make the structure stay long, strong but light.

Ska V29

Solid natural larch wood table worked with numerical control machines and finished by hand, the particularity is the shape that recalls the position of the trees, demolished by the Vaia storm that hit the Dolomites and represented by solid wood larch wood axes themselves. The hand-polished surface makes the surface opaque and smooth to the touch and enhances its veins and shapes. The base, made of powder-coated steel, represents the pine forest before the storm passes.

Haleiwa

The Haleiwa weaves sustainable rattan into sweeping curves and casts a distinct silhouette. The natural materials pay homage to the artisanal tradition in the Philippines, remade for present times. Paired, or used as a statement piece, the versatility of the design makes this chair adapt to different styles. Creating a balance between form and function, grace and strength, architecture and design, the Haleiwa is as comfortable as it is beautiful.

Glimpse

Glimpse is a side table designed for use beside seating units. The form of Glimpse is a reflection of an organic shape divided into small sections, joining an organic outline with a minimalist design. The table is made of wood and tempered glass. The wooden parts are produced with a CNC router, and silicone dots are attached to the wooden parts to stop the tempered glass from slipping. The glass has a concave slope that allows easy access from a sitting position on a sofa. The glass can be flipped, so the table can be placed on either side of the seating.
