During the 60s, visionary designers developed the first plastic furniture. The designers’ talent coupled with the versatility of the substance led to its indispensability. Both designers and consumers became addicted to it. Today, we know its environmental dangers. Still, restaurant terraces remain filled with plastic chairs.

The design world remains sparsely populated with manufacturers of steel furniture, even sometimes republishing designs from the late 19th century… Here comes the birth of Tomeo: a modern, light & stackable steel chair.
Eataly Toronto is tailored to the nuances of our growing city and is designed to enhance and augment social exchanges via the universal catalyst of great Italian food. It is only fitting that the traditional and enduring “passeggiata” is the inspiration behind the design for Eataly Toronto.

Zmake is an office interior design covering 1100 square meters. The layout is organized around a 21 meter T shaped corridor, which serves as an information gallery and an interactive space that every person passes before entering the work area.

Bamboo, terrazzo, paint and stainless steel are the main materials. The design focuses on the relationship between people and space.
