Nikao

Nikao Side Table is an elegant piece of furniture based on an evolutionary concept of circular and cylindrical geometries. These are transformed in order to adapt to a certain environment and a certain function. In this way, both utility and structure are solved maintaining the original geometrical essence of the piece, and becoming a more organic and more complex object. Nikao side table interacts with the observer in a natural way. Its magnetic shape, together with the warmth of the material, makes the user to come closer, touch it and sit next to it.

Sway

Sway is a way to explore your own rhythm and patterns. Through observing and discovering these occasional unconscious movements, it has been noted that people sometimes exhibit unconscious behaviors, such as rocking, when entering a state of mental flow. By incorporating a pendulum beneath the seat, the height and the unique sensation that a bar stool provides are leveraged. It provides stability and controlled, small-scale rocking that allows users to explore and find their own rhythm. With its high bar stool design and rocking motion, Sway promotes a calming and contemplative state of mind.

Mua Lau

As the world grapples with the rapid depletion of natural resources, contemporary designers are increasingly focused on exploring sustainable materials. One such example is the Mua Lau Chair, which draws inspiration from a beloved Taiwanese snack known for its distinctive texture of crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior. Sitting in this chair is akin to being transported to a serene bamboo forest, as the gentle breeze wafts over the body, fostering a deeper connection with nature.

Pinch

The Pinch Chair is a unibody, stackable, plastic chair that reimagines traditional designs with a fresh aesthetic more suited to contemporary architecture and landscapes. Designed with a unibody logic, the plastic sheet transforms into a complete chair with simple pinching and pulling moves. Its seamless, cohesive appearance creates an intuitive and dynamic visual image. The design allows for stacking during storage and stable placement on a dining table when flipped upside down, which is convenient for restaurant staff to clean the floor when closing.

Flip

Flip Chair is inspired by the serene feeling of sitting on a grassy lawn, where one can enjoy the natural softness, warmth, and gentle breeze of the environment. The chair's flip theme embodies the graceful movement of grass in the wind, creating a dynamic and organic form. To achieve this effect, the fluidity and folds of the chair's seat are simulated and the wood was bent into shape using steam. The resulting product was then meticulously handcrafted to provide users with an authentic and immersive natural experience.
