Ebisu

Ebisu is a residential writing desk designed to integrate work into domestic environments.

A leather writing surface is flush mounted into the top, forming a continuous work plane. The structure is made of CNC machined MDF clad in natural pau ferro veneer and finished with matte acrylic varnish. Aged brass is used on edges, internal drawer dividers and a custom power box. Wiring is concealed through the legs to preserve formal clarity.

The lamp is 750 mm high and 170 mm wide.

Hope

Hope is a table lamp that combines traditional ceramic craft with modern LED lighting. The body is made of natural ceramic, shaped by established methods, and is joined with a metal frame and an acrylic diffuser. An integrated LED board gives a strong light output suitable for work areas. Brightness is adjusted by touching a metal sphere, so the lamp can also serve as a night light or a decorative object. Two interchangeable sphere finishes, chrome and brass, are included. The lamp measures 355 mm in height, 260 mm in width and 84 mm in depth.

Zero

Zero is a track light designed for magnetic track systems. The circular form of Zero refers to the symbol of zero, representing both beginning and infinity. A magnetic mounting system allows fast installation on the upper or the lower side of a track, for ceiling, wall or pendant use. A rotation mechanism adjusts the direction of the light beam. LEDs with a colour temperature of 3000 K and a matte white diffuser give comfortable, glare free light across a wide 180 degree beam angle. The module uses 10 W and gives 550 lumens.

Ikebana

Ikebana is a floor lamp that also serves as a vase. The name refers to the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The lamp stands 1250 mm high and has a ring of 280 mm in diameter. A removable glass vase with a frosted base holds fresh flowers and conceals the water. A metal frame and a marble base provide stability. Two dimmable light sources with matte diffusers are fitted: the upper ring lights the floral arrangement, while the lower light serves reading and work surfaces. The combined form saves space in small interiors.
