Aeronautics

Aeronautics is a family of four pendant luminaires produced with rotational molding. The family is based on two shapes, named Zeppelin and Balloon, which can be used in different applications, sizes and proportions. The design explores the advantages offered by rotational molding technology. The forms refer to inflatable aircraft, to air and to clouds, and express lightness and simplicity. Suspended from the ceiling, the luminaires appear to float inside the interior space.

Magic

Magic is a table lamp inspired by the natural form of the Liberty Cap mushroom. The shade is 3D printed from plant based plastic, and light passing through the shade highlights the spiralling concentric lines left by the printing process. Mushroom like gills under the head are also 3D printed. The stem and base are hand carved from locally sourced hardwood, so every piece is unique. Three brightness levels are selected with a touch sensitive dimmer concealed in the base. The lamp measures 150 by 150 by 650 millimetres.

Cubes

Cubes table lamp has a very clear aesthetic inspired by the architecture of the early 20th century, the Bauhaus and German modernism. Expresses a concept combining light with graphic design, a sculpture of geometric shapes. The lamp consists of three geometric forms stacked in a balanced composition and distinguished by the material, wood. The asymmetric positioning of the forms creates a different profile on each side, a constant rediscovery of the piece. The light fixture is a led circuit with a diffuser, softly distributing the light downwards on two of the volumes.

Magpie

Magpie is a table lamp shaped after a bird with folding wings. The lamp changes between three positions through a single contact button at the base of its cylindrical body. In the first position the wings stay folded and the light is small and soft, which suits use beside a bed. In the second position the head rises and the light becomes brighter, which suits office and study use. In the third position the wings open fully and a wider area is lit. The body is made of metal with a gold finish, and the shade is made of a translucent material.

Graphic

Graphic is a sofa designed for reception areas and living rooms. The form is simple and geometric, without ornament. The backrest derives from a circular shape extended to three times its radius, which gives the structured seat a lighter appearance. The frame is made of reforestation woods, with Lyptus in the structural parts and Pinus in the other parts. The seat holds foam of 30 density, and the feet are carbon steel painted with automotive paint. The cover is natural fabric. The gap between the seat and the floor makes cleaning easier.

Wings

Wings is a leisure chair inspired by the movement of butterflies. The form refers to butterfly wings in different states, giving a solid object a sense of life. The back is connected to the middle of the seat, and the seat surface opens on both sides to wrap the hips for greater comfort. The legs use a double layer support that increases stability. The chair is produced as one piece by 3D printing in blue translucent plastic. The outer surface carries a striped texture that recalls wing patterns and increases friction.
