Da Vinci Home Textile Pillow Core

Da Vinci

Two thirds is the headrest area, filled with high fluffy down, and one third is the cervical support area, filled with Japanese pipe tubes. The cover is made of 100 percent cotton. A zipper allows the tubes to be removed, so the height can be adjusted. The shape supports the neck and holds the back of the head. The aim is to correct the curve of the cervical spine and improve sleep.

Decker Folding Yacht Chair

Decker

Decker is a folding chair designed for use on yachts. The chair opens as a low lounge chair and folds to a compact form only 100 millimetres thick. The frame is made of stainless steel with trapezoidal tubing and cast lugs, joined by brass hardware at the pivot points. Teak slats are attached to webbing straps rather than to the frame, so the seat and back flex with the user. An over-centre geometry holds the straps in tension when the chair is open. A jog in the seat frame forms a carrying handle, and magnets keep the folded legs in place.

Memphis

The chair can be easily flat packed or stacked for large shipment

2182 Vessel Speculative Vase

2182 Vessel

2182 Vessel is a ceramic wine glass designed to hold premium champagne. The form refers to four historic drinking vessels: the Patera, the Kylix, the Tazza cup and the champagne coupe. A wide opening allows the aroma to spread quickly. Drinking takes place in two stages. The shallow upper part holds the first portion and supports the sense of smell. The narrow middle section slows oxidation, so the wine in the deeper lower part keeps its taste. The glass measures 50 mm in width, 50 mm in depth and 140 mm in height.

Metaphor Table

Metaphor

This project is poking fun at itself while raising social awareness about gender equality. Specifically, it uses a metaphor that springs from sumo, one of the most male-dominated sports in Japanese society. Women are not allowed to compete professionally in this sport given sexist rules, which border them outside the wrestling ring as a result of their "impurity" by reason of the menstrual blood. Knocking a sumo warrior to the ground, at the service of a flower pot or any other need people may have, desecrates that macho-dominance sumo still holds, by simply using irony and humor.

H Chair

H

The “H Chair” is a selected piece of the "interval" series by Xiaoyan Wei. Her inspiration came from free-flowing curves and forms in space. It changes the relationship of furniture and space by offering a variety of potentials to improve the user experience. The result was delicately made to balance between the comfort and the idea of breath. The use of the brass rods was not only for stabilization but also to deliver visual diversity to the design; it highlights the negative space made by two flowing curves with different linearity for the space to breath.
