Art Gallery

Museum of Art is an exhibition stand designed for a manufacturer of luxury bathroom basins, tubs and faucets at a trade fair. Traditional walls are replaced by black matte laminate fins with gray marbling, angled sharply toward the center of the stand. The fins offer privacy and still allow glimpses of the interior. Inspired by dripping water, 250 strands of fine golden chain are suspended from floor to ceiling, forming translucent curtains around opposing corners of the centerpiece. Three showrooms present the products as individually lit art installations.

Shine City

Shine City is a sales center in Chengdu, China, with an area of 1000 square meters.

An installed art lamp recalls the cracked surface of Song Dynasty porcelain. Blank space and restrained detail create a calm and poetic atmosphere.

Basto

Basto is an office chair designed for long working hours. The backrest frame is ultra-thin and the overall style is minimalist, with simple and quick operation. A dynamic balance mechanism allows the seat and the backrest to swing at the same time. The seat turns freely with the body of the user. The cushion has an inner shell larger than the outer shell, which adds elasticity at the front edge and reduces pressure. A special mesh with Italian yarn is soft to the touch. Nylon forms 70 percent of the materials and the recovery rate reaches 97 percent.
