Tubelight
The Tubelight was born from our fascination with fluorescent tubes, and archetypical industrial lighting fixtures. With its flexible tube, it redefines the conventional fluorescent light, and bends the rules of lighting, literally.
Being recognizable, yet distinctive, and introducing innovative features such as the dim-to- warm function, the Tubelight transcends traditional fixtures with its versatility.
Archive Light
The Archive Lights provide a fresh perspective on the centuries-long grown portfolio of this unique company, by literally and figuratively highlighting the details that comprise it, and establishing a link between the past, present, and future.
Collected
We present four, lifelike objects, created from one of our findings; a dead-stock of vintage, artificial-plants parts. These precious, handcrafted pieces, are made of wire, paper, and resin.
With their delicate details, the organic compositions, highlight the subtle gradations of color, and slight variations of shape, while the intricate surfaces, exemplify a balance between the odd and the familiar.
The collected items transform into collectible objects.
Orb
Solid marble spheres, supported by bent brass structures, forge essential, sculpted illustrations of abstract planets.
Orb harnesses the mesmerizing beauty of geological patters, together with the wonders of celestial bodies, creating a synthesis between the natural and the odd and peculiar.
Fruit Towers
The Fruit Towers are ceramic vases with high-temperature glaze executed by the craftsmen Jian-Fu Zhong and Wen-Yi Kung.
With the Fruit Towers we wanted to display a relationship between the past and the present, traditional and contemporary.
Linear Cycle
Linear Cycle is not a common clock.
Instead of the usual rotating dials it features a revolving shell-like element which allows it to indicate the passing hours on a linear plate instead of a circular one.
J & L Tumblers
“Incredible care and attention are put into the smallest details, yet at the same time many of the pieces are intended for everyday use – encouraging us to (re)discover the joy of our daily rituals.” With this in mind we have created the J & L Tumblers.
Mixed Animals
Why does an elephant have such a long nose?
We naturally associate specific proportions and parts to certain animals, yet the Mixed Animals feature a system of magnets and separate body and accessories pieces allowing one to challenge these associations.
Origin part IV: Foster
Foster is comprised of three series of crafted objects and is the result of our collaboration with Ibuki, a part of Kyoto Takumijuku – a non-profit organization based in Sonobe, Nantan-city, Kyoto prefecture.
New Perspectives
The Textielmuseum in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has invited us to browse through their magnificent archives. Ensuing, we have been commissioned to develop new pieces for the museum’s collection, inspired by our findings, using the TextielLab’s computer-controlled embroidery machine.
Infinity Pillow
Fashioned after the Möbius strip with its continuous one-sided surface, the Infinity Pillow offers endless possibilities – from a neck and back cushion to a head rest, noise-cancelling pillow and much more!
Interlacer
For the Another Terra exhibition during the Salone del Mobile, curated by Barbara Brondi and Marco Rainò, we were commissioned to create a small piece relating to the concept of a travel to a new planet which offers similar conditions as Earth;
Origin part III: Contrast
Contrast is the result of our collaboration with Meitheal Mara, and consists of a Side-Table, Stool and Fruit-Bowls.
In Between
In Between is a collection of hand-blown glass tableware. Drinking glasses, bowls, plates, and accessories of various types and sizes come in a six step gradation – from transparent to white. Rather than sand-blasting, the gradation is achieved through the application of varying amounts of white pigment during the process.
Golden Glory #5
The exclusive one-offs that comprise Golden Glory explore the necessity of cherishing meaningful objects.
Through the laborious art of hand-gilding, common plastic novelties and generic trinkets transcend the realm of the mass produced and meaningless and become truly remarkable modern day keepsakes.
