Capsule

Capsule is a modular lighting system designed for the home.

A pressure fit attachment holds the lighting module in place without tools. A rotating ring on the module controls the brightness, and the diffusers can be unlocked and exchanged to change the light effect. The main module is made of aluminium by CNC milling.

Xu Wei

Xu Wei is a lighting design for an art museum in Shaoxing, a Chinese city with a history of 2,500 years. The museum stands within an old residential quarter, so the lighting is kept low-key and calm. L-shaped light troughs and linear wall washing fixtures are hidden on the facades to brighten the walls evenly. Faint light marks the bronze statue of the artist, and tree shadows fall along the corridor. The square is lit at a moderate level, and hidden projection allows different scenes for public cultural events.

Fly

Fly is an armchair designed for indoor spaces. The design is based on studies of deconstructivist composition, so the parts appear separated, as if exploded, while forming a harmonious whole. Rounded edges between the surfaces soften the visual discontinuity. A solid wooden structure inside supports the seat and the backrest and carries the other elements. The structure is covered with foam and fabric, and the parts and the feet are screwed in hidden positions. Two pointed elements under the armrests add strength to the arms and the feet. Fly measures 91 x 73 x 80 cm.
