The first time you want to sit on “negative chair” you pause for a second thinking it is impossible to do so. When you look at it from the side, you see the outline of a chair that does not exist and when someone sits on the chair, you see the transformation of its shape and you get the impression that the seated person is suspended in space while feeling very comfortable since the chair will actually take the form of the body and supports it from all angles.

In this spirit, the iLOK tables have been conceived to prioritize lightness, strength and modularity. This has been made possible thanks to the wooden composite material of the table tops, the arched geometry of the legs and the structural brackets fixed inside the honeycombed heart. Using an oblique junction for the base, useful space is gained below. Finally, from the timber emerges a warm aesthetic much appreciated by fine diners.

The design, which is a storage unit for books and magazines, is carried on a thin surface with the support received from the wall for the documents placed upon it. There are neodymium magnets on the pipes that assume the function of shelves and that are connected to each other by vertical pieces. These magnets, the Add+it can be assembled in a practical manner without the need for any connecting elements. This method gives the opportunity of the furniture being assembled repeatedly without deformation.

All of the parts of the VBookcase can be packed and transported easily by placing one on top of the other and can be assembled in a practical manner at the place of use.

Made with 100% natural pine cut to precision with CNC fabrication, the dolphin features soft, sanded edges that eliminate the risk of abrasion or other injury. The dorsal fin provides the main seating area of the Rocking Dolphin, while the side fins offer a place where children can rest their feet.
Continue readingMove is a rocking armchair made by 30 solid pieces of ash wood. It owes its remarkable complexity to a double curved and closed structure. The first structure supports the seat and the backrest, while the second supports both and allows the movement. The connection is in the lower part where the two structures touch each other at their greatest curving point (statically a highly critical point). The lightness of the curved parts and the dynamism give this rocking armchair its unparalleled and unique beauty.
