Pebble

Inspired by the tactility of pebbles, Pebble is an outdoor sofa made from white-grey cork. It consists of various pebble-like cushions that perfectly fit together. The design translates the tactility of pebbles, the urge to feel and touch, into a pebble-like composition that everyone can experience at any time of the year. The sofa can be left outdoors permanently and is resilient against natural weathering. The use of cork is a premier in outdoor furniture.

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.

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.

Shell

The Shell sofa appeared as a combination of sea shells outlines and fashion trends in imitating exoskeleton technology and 3d printing. The aim was to create a sofa with the effect of optical illusion. It should be the light and airy furniture that could be used both at home and outdoors. To achieve the effect of lightness a web of nylon ropes was used. Thus the hardness of the carcass is balanced by the weaving and softness of the silhouette lines. A rigid base under the corner sections of the seat can be used as side tables and soft overhead seats and cushions finish the composition.
