Portable Lamp

Sunday, 13 September 2026

Scacco Matto

Scacco Matto draws inspiration from the 1960s radical design movement and invites audiences to explore and interact with shapes and light. Featuring three magnetically connected elements, the portable lamp can be transformed in five different light sculptures, to inspire a new interest in the role light plays in transforming the look, feel, and atmosphere of homes. It can be used as a vase, sculpture or to focus light on a particular area. The five possible combinations are reminiscent of chess, hence the name Scacco Matto, the Italian translation of checkmate.

Sculptural Sink

Saturday, 12 September 2026

Equilibrio

Equilibrio is a sculptural sink that explores the contrast between the countertop's delicate inclination and its robust volume. Made by the assembly and modeling of several stone pieces in order to achieve a rounded format, the actual sink is created by a diagonal section and a slight tilt of the upper portion of the piece. The suggested supports are asymmetrical, with a hollow tube covering the plumbing on one side and a skinny leg on the other, but this piece could also be used without the supports.

Wall V4

Wall V4 is a floor-standing television stand designed to hold large screens close to the wall. Televisions up to 90 inches from many manufacturers can be mounted safely at a preferred height. The supporting column offers eight height levels of 5 mm each. Cables and screws are hidden inside a double-layered panel, so the setup stays neat. The base is made from a 2 mm steel plate shaped by pressing and reinforced by a radial frame, which keeps the edge thin and reduces the risk of tripping. Assembly is simple and needs no changes to the room.

Tai

Tai is a side table made from retired substation metal sheets. The design extends the service life of discarded materials and reduces waste. Production requires only laser cutting and bending, so costly molds are not needed. The flat-packed parts are assembled by the user, which shortens production time. The exterior lines recall the image of hands folded in prayer, and the lower structure is inspired by the butterfly seat. A central opening holds an open book. The table measures 450 by 350 by 550 millimeters.

Stool

Tuesday, 8 September 2026

Layer

The project started with making furniture out of small-diameter trees and scrap wood. Wood in Okinawa is felled due to natural disasters and road expansion. However, in recent years, road expansion has decreased due to environmental considerations, so wood is also shrinking. To continue making Okinawa furniture, it was necessary to use small materials. Therefore, the Layer stool were created by combining various types of wood. It is made from upcycled waste. This design proposes a new value by reconstructing the waste material from Okinawan wood into blocks.
