Km31

Patrick Sarran created the Km31 for a large spectrum of restaurant uses. The main constraint was multifunctionality. This cart can be used singly for serving one table, or in a row with others for a buffet. The designer devised an articulated Krion top mounted on the same wheeled base he had designed for a range of trolleys such as the KEZA, and later the Kvin, the Herbal Tea Garden, and the Kali, together named the K series. The hardness of the Krion allowed a complete light finish to be chosen, with the sturdiness required for a luxurious establishment.

Bench

Row

The theme of this design is a fusion of Japanese material and other material. Furniture combined with rush (tatami) that has been used in Japanese daily life through the ages and metal is little seen because mostly wood has been chosen for it. The combination of tatami and wood is the very “Japanese (Zen)” style in a global sense, however, it may be said that it has limited coordination. On the other hand, this bench is simply unique but also has universality. It takes on modern and minimal characters by combining with aluminum, and matches not only for Japanese but any taste of spaces.

Julia

Julia — meticulously crafted using ash wood slats radiating from the chair’s core supported by bars and screws. The form originated by playfully twisting a circular paper armlet, like a Mobius strip. Then came about the idea of wood and metal as materials solidifying the concepts of radial and continuous elements. Each material was carefully thought of, measured and calculated - the numbers, sizes and gaps in between each wood slat and bars, up until the holes on the wood slats. A cushion is added for balance. However, even without it, Julia stands in complete comfort and strength.

C 39

C 39 is the transformative state of a pill that implies a seating form. As the exterior body is partially cut, the interior particles are exposed - these particles are made of post-consumer recycled fibre and soft enough to function as cushions. As a person sits or lies down inside C 39, one can experience partial encapsulation of the body, and physically interact with the interior particles.
