Fly

Fly is an armchair designed for indoor spaces. The design is based on studies of deconstructivist composition, so the parts appear separated, as if exploded, while forming a harmonious whole. Rounded edges between the surfaces soften the visual discontinuity. A solid wooden structure inside supports the seat and the backrest and carries the other elements. The structure is covered with foam and fabric, and the parts and the feet are screwed in hidden positions. Two pointed elements under the armrests add strength to the arms and the feet. Fly measures 91 x 73 x 80 cm.

Multifunction

Multifunctional is a mirror designed for small living spaces. The unit combines a dressing mirror, a coat rack, a storage tray and a shoe mirror in one piece. Geometric hooks hold coats and bags. The tray in the middle holds keys, watches and glasses. The angle of the tray can be adjusted, and a mirror on the underside works as a second mirror. Set flush with the upper mirror, the tray forms a full-length mirror; turned downwards, the tray shows shoes. A beech wood base adds stability, and flat-panel packaging reduces transport volume.

Niemeyer II

Designed by Joana Santos Barbosa, the rounded forms of the Niemeyer II armchair are influenced by the modernist House of Canoas of Oscar Niemeyer. Having a refined design with architectural details, this armchair is minimal and yet a statement piece. The upholstery work is meticulous, with seams reduced to essential, in order to reproduce the backward movement of flat roof when seen from an aerial view. Upholstered in a special woven bouclé, this welcoming armchair receives people with a gentle embrace and feels the most comfortable place in the room.

Splash Proof Partition

Object

Object is a splash-proof partition designed for living and dining spaces. Object combines a circular acrylic panel with a simple bent brass support and a round brass weight that prevents tipping. The acrylic is offered in smoked and colored versions, so the partition adds color to a room instead of looking temporary. Several sets can be connected around the brass weights to form a wider screen. An optional wooden base can hold flowers. The composition resembles an art piece, so Object can remain in place as decoration.

Push Collection

Push Collection is a modular seating range built around a stackable armchair. The armchair design is reduced to a minimum in order to reveal the essence of each element. Only two materials are used: die-cast and extruded aluminium for the frame, which is fully recyclable, and technical fabric obtained from recycled PET bottles for the upholstery. By replacing a few parts of the seat frame, four items can be produced: a chair, an armchair, a backless seat and a two-seater armchair. The collection joins minimal form with sustainability and robustness.

Carefree

Carefree is a restaurant interior designed for traditional Sichuan cuisine in Chengdu, China. The space covers 1480 square meters and is divided into a refreshment area, a wine area and private rooms. Chinese carved fencing and dim lighting give the refreshment area a secluded feeling. The private rooms are kept plain so that attention stays on the food. A sculpture at the center of the moon gate combines the brand name with ink painting. A wall screen shows plants changing through the four seasons, and bamboo, marble and red brick are used throughout.
