Sway

Sway is a way to explore your own rhythm and patterns. Through observing and discovering these occasional unconscious movements, it has been noted that people sometimes exhibit unconscious behaviors, such as rocking, when entering a state of mental flow. By incorporating a pendulum beneath the seat, the height and the unique sensation that a bar stool provides are leveraged. It provides stability and controlled, small-scale rocking that allows users to explore and find their own rhythm. With its high bar stool design and rocking motion, Sway promotes a calming and contemplative state of mind.

Petra

Petra is a massive volcanic stone dining table for indoor/outdoor use: a homage to the Mexican terrain that portrays its whims and character through its materials and impeccable craftsmanship. Through its surface, etched lines run connecting each of the three circles of polished stone strategically mirroring the monoliths underneath.

Relax

A chair that can be split into a furniture for leaning and a coffee table. Taking mortise and tenon which is the soul of Chinese furniture as the starting point, and combining the characteristics which can be assembled and disassembled, it can realize the multi-purpose of one thing in the form of combination. It can not only meet the requirements of modern furniture generalization and standardization, but also contain Chinese national characteristics and traditional culture.

Seven

Seven is a wind chime with a new structure utilizing Tensegrity structure. In the unstable social climate of recent years, people are constantly moving between stability and anxiety. The Tensegrity structure is the structure that embodies current society. It appears to be floating and stable, but external forces such as wind cause it to sway in order to maintain equilibrium. By converting this swaying into sound, it resonates through space and adds healing and color to daily life.

Su Series

A spirit of refinement, Su is a power that develops inside through time. In other terms, it is an inward state of self-sufficiency. It is frequently not a demand that is directed outside toward nothing but rather an ongoing quest within oneself. Su have decided for the approach that is both the most natural and practical in expressing the showroom as a home. The limitless imagination and the yearning to investigate what it means to call a place "home" are both stoked by the combination of NAPP's highly methodical goods and a compelling brand design promise.
