Balustrade Chair

Balustrade

Balustrade is a chair designed for short and temporary rest. The design is inspired by unconscious behaviour, such as leaning on a table or against a balustrade. Balustrade offers two sitting positions. The first is sitting directly on the top, like a chair. The second is a leaning posture, like leaning on a railing. The form is simple, and the intent is brief use rather than long comfort. Several units can be overlapped to reduce transport volume. The chair measures 620 by 385 by 720 millimetres.

Colored Finch Chair

Colored Finch

Colored Finch is a chair inspired by the shape of a finch. The backrest appears straight from the front and curves at the sides, combining form and comfort. The backrest and seat are made of handmade multi-layer wood, shaped as double-layer curved wood. The legs are metal tubes covered with layers of handmade fabric. The limited use of non-renewable materials in the legs supports environmental care. Sixteen prototypes were built, and a test dummy was used to study seating positions and set the final size. The chair measures 490 mm in width, 550 mm in depth and 810 mm in height.

Unit City Office

Unit City

IT Factory is an office interior created in a renovated industrial building in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The office covers 4500 square meters and operates at all hours, so working zones and resting zones are balanced. Existing concrete structures and metal knee braces were preserved and used as accents of the interior. A double-height space on the second floor adds working places while keeping room for rest. New ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems remain visible as part of the interior. Bright, measured colour accents avoid monotony.
