Positive and Negative

This is a product that serves as function and beauty simultaneously, spiced with a hint of culture and roots. 'Positive and Negative' paravant acts as an adjustable and mobile barrier for privacy that does not protrude or disrupt a space. The Islamic motif gives a lace-like effect that is subtracted and vice-versa from the Corian/Resin material. Similar to the yin yang, there's always a little good in the bad and always a little bad in the good. When the sun sets on 'Positive and Negative' it is truly its shining moment and the geometric shadows paint the room.

Cat's Cradle

Digits or Fibers, a current design process dilemma. All of us are beginners but some of us have to work at it. Beginning designers observe every technique available and learn some. With time (~10,000 hours) we acquire facility (-ies) that elevate/popularize/personalize/economize our game. So, I am fascinated by the current fascination with media that propose that the most basic building block of design is the digit, easily controlled. The digit is not a life-generating unit, merely a rounding down to a least common denominator smaller than fiber. Design is at least shards, splinters and fiber.

1x3

1x3 is inspired by interlocking burr puzzles. It is both - a piece of furniture and a brain teaser. All parts stay together without the need of any fixtures. The interlocking principle involves only sliding movements giving a very fast assembly process and making 1x3 appropriate for frequent change of place. The level of difficulty depends not on dexterity but mostly on spatial vision. Instructions are provided in case the user needs help. The name - 1x3 is a mathematical expression that represents the logic of the wooden structure - one element type, three pieces of it.

Twins

The Twins coffee table concept is simple. A hollow coffee table stores two full wooden seats inside. The right and left surfaces of the table, are actually lids that can be pulled out of the main body of the table in order to allow the extraction of the seats. The seats have foldable legs that have to be rotated so to get the chair in the right position. Once the chair, or both chairs are out, the lids go back at the table. When the chairs are out, the table also works as a huge storing compartment.

Phone Box

Designed to have a transparent enclosure, PhoneBox is a modern phone-booth almost blending in with the city thanks to its elegant look. Unlikely to generate a solid body incoherent with the concept, PhoneBox perfectly fits the urban environment where the space is aimed to be brought to the fore. Emphasizing an easy access both to communication and information, optionally illuminated closed roof also serving as a canopy assures the people by offering a safe yet not isolated place among the crowd.
