Iko

Iko is a hanging chair designed as a quiet retreat within open offices. The form is based on the icosahedron, one of the five Platonic solids, and this geometry gives the design its name. The main structure combines wooden elements with CNC-milled metal cylinders. Triangular acoustic panels are covered with pure wool textile, and the seat is filled with grain husk. The chair hangs from hemp ropes. Iko can be used to read, focus, make a phone call, work or rest, without disturbing other people in the same room.

Green-Backed Tit Nesting Plan

Green-Backed Tit Nesting Plan is an art installation and pavilion with an integrated lighting design at Sun Moon Lake. The nest-like structure invites visitors to step inside and rest. The lighting design begins with human vision rather than illuminating the installation itself. Attention is placed on balancing the illumination between the surrounding environment and the visitors. Lighting fixtures with suitable light distribution and cut-off angles are integrated into the wooden structure to create a glare-free ambiance that sustains the tranquility of the lake.
