Cecilia Armchair

Cecilia

Cecilia is an armchair made from reused and discarded materials. The structure is built from pressed slats of leftover wood, shaped with wide feet and a broad seat so that short offcuts can be used. The backrest is formed by small pieces of leftover fabric tied to a flexible base with foam inside, creating a soft volume and added comfort. The seat is made of discarded leather, which can receive patches and details, so each armchair is unique. The low and reclining form invites rest and follows a Scandinavian style.

Moon Gate The Bar Chair

Moon Gate

Motichair is a bar chair designed for seating and conversation. The frame uses circles to connect the support points, which balances the forces and reduces material loss.

RovLocker Smart Parcel Locker

RovLocker

RovLocker is a smart parcel locker designed for public spaces. The system uses two module types: a main module and parcel modules. Each parcel module is formed by joining an inner cabinet and an outer cabinet with special electromechanical locks, so no fasteners are visible on the outer surface. The result is a seamless, minimal and anti-vandal appearance. For installation, maintenance and repair, the inner cabinet can be pulled forward once the locks are opened. Rear access is not needed, so the locker can be placed in many public areas.
