Key Holder

Sunday, 17 March 2024

Doorknob

Doorknob is a playful wall mounted key holder that looks like an actual doorknob. Hang keys by inserting one key into the key slot. The slot is designed to fit with the key shaped keychain, as well as any other generic house key. The spherical knob doubles as a coat and hat hook. The idea is inspired by the funny moment when the designers couldn't find their keys, and realized that the keys have been hanging on their doorknob the entire time. The project started in 2013, and was showcased at the First Things First exhibition in NYC in 2014.

Paper Teller

Paper Teller is a diploma project. Each day, the user is invited to detach a sheet to discover the wordless story told by the cuckoo clock in a year. A box is designed to accommodate pages tore out. The user can read the story at the end of the year while a new block is placed on the clock and another story begins on the wall. This simple object fits many living rooms thanks to the sober design and the decorative black and red illustrations.

One of the directives of Eidetica is to incorporate part of the culture and folklore of Mexico in the pieces they design.

Cork Stopper Table

The Cork Stopper Table is a DIY coffee table which is both beautiful and functional; demonstrating that you don’t need to sacrifice aesthetics for ease of use or assembly. Courtesy of the cork stopper and its deceptively simple use in construction, the building of this table requires only a couple of minutes and no need for glue, screws or other hardware. The combination of hand-crafted cork, high polished tempered glass and birch plywood achieves an elegant look; allowing the table to be a poetic piece of functional art that is easily constructed.

Stratum

The Stratum chair was born out of a desire to create a chair that expresses its materiality in a very organic fashion, while taking advantage of advanced CNC milling and fabrication technologies. Comprising of two interlocking parts, the chair can fold and reduce its overall volume by half. Sharp sinuous lines run along the edges and highlight the its functional features. The flowing striated pattern is revealed by carving strategically designed local and global geometries into laminated plywood. Terminating the chair at the ground with three legs creates a sense of delicate balance.
