Handcrafted scented candle

Candella

Handcrafted scented candle made in upcycled wine bottle. The main objective of the product design was to develop a product which would be different from those offered by the competition. The design team decided to go opposite direction than the competition and come up with different type of the container. The see through label was used instead of the common paper sticker. The scents names were replaced by numbers from 1 to 10 in order to differentiate the product from other candles available on the market. The candle packaging is the cotton bag.

Butterfly

"Butterfly" is part of an exercise in exploration of metal processes. Inspired by Mexican Monarca Butterflies, which despite to the fragile appearance of its wings, is capable of traveling more than 4000 kilometers from Canada to the state of Michoacan in Mexico. The pure lines resemble a wing shape of a butterfly and its structure is made to create a very confortable, strong and aesthetic piece. Always looking for a perfect balance between function and production feasibility, "Butterfly" makes up pairs of stackable, cast aluminum, indoor-outdoor chairs.

Sedia Stellare (o del Piccolo Principe)

Small precious throne for poetic thinkers, observers of the stars that, like the Little Prince, venture into sidereal trips. An iconographic chair, which wraps of grace and majesty who lies: regality blended with the simplicity that is the privileged key to access charm and richness of the countless cognitive universes. Recommended for contemplation and for moments of wine tasting. Cherry wood, natural leather, brushed steel. It fits to special spaces as cellars, wine bars, reading places

Meduse Pipes

Elegant organic lines are inspired by underwater sea life. A shisha pipe like a mysterious animal getting alive with every inhalation. My idea of design was to uncover all interesting processes that take place in the pipe such as bubbling, smoke flow, fruit mosaic and the play of lights. I have achieved this by maximizing the glass proportion and mainly by uplifting the functional area to the eye level, instead of traditional shisha pipes where its almost hidden on the ground level. Using real fruit pieces inside the glass corpus for cocktails enhances the experience to the new level.

Chromosome X

A Dining Table designed to provide seating for eight people, who interact in arrow arrangement. The top is an abstract X, made of two different pieces accentuated by a deep line, while the same abstract X is reflected on the floor with the base structure. The white structure is made of three different pieces for easy assembling and transportation. Moreover, the contrast of teak veneer of the top and white for the base was selected to lighten the lower part giving more emphasis on the irregularly shaped top, thus providing a hint for different interaction of the users.

Boletus

The Boletus coffee table was conceived as a piece of functional sculpture. The implausibly slender base and expansive top are intended to appear surreal in proportion and challenge convention. The design utilises modern, composite materials to maximise strength and stability so as not to compromise on the aesthetic. Ultimately, whilst intriguing to look at from all angles, the table can effortlessly hold your coffee tray.
