Stool

Ydin

Ydin stool can be mounted by yourself, without using special tools, thanks to a simple interlocking system. The 4 identical feet are placed in no particular order and the concrete seat, acting as the keystone, keeps everything in place. Feet are made with scrap wood coming from a stairs manufacturer, easily machined using traditional woodworking techniques and finally oiled. The seat is simply moulded in a lasting fiber-reinforced UHP Concrete. Only 5 dissociable parts to be flat packed and ready to be shipped to final customers, is another sustainability argument.

Chair

5x5

The 5x5 chair is a typical design project where the limitation is recognised as a challenge. The chair's seat and the back are made of xilith which is very difficult to be shaped. Xilith is the raw material that can be found 300 meters under the ground's surface and is comined with a coal. Currently the majority of the raw material is thrown away. From environmental point of view this material generates waste on the earth's surface. Therefore the idea about the chair design seemed to be very provocative and challenging.

Chongqing Mountain and City Sales Office

“Mountain” is the main theme of this sales office, which is inspired by the geographical background of Chongqing. The pattern of grey marbles on the floor is forming in triangular shape; and there are lots of odd and sharp angles and corners on the feature walls and the irregular shaped reception counters, to demonstrate the concept of “mountain”. In addition, the stairs connecting the floors are designed to be a passage through the cave. Meanwhile, LED lightings are hanged from the ceiling, imitating raining scene in valley and presenting natural feeling, to soften the whole impression.

The design translates local landscape imagery of mountains, flowing water and lotus forms into an immersive spatial narrative. The lobby is defined by a double curved mountain like ceiling made of custom glass fiber reinforced gypsum panels. Building information modeling and parametric modeling were used to resolve the complex geometry. Natural wood, bamboo weaving, sustainable finishes and intelligent lighting create a calm atmosphere for adults and children.
