Nikao

Nikao Side Table is an elegant piece of furniture based on an evolutionary concept of circular and cylindrical geometries. These are transformed in order to adapt to a certain environment and a certain function. In this way, both utility and structure are solved maintaining the original geometrical essence of the piece, and becoming a more organic and more complex object. Nikao side table interacts with the observer in a natural way. Its magnetic shape, together with the warmth of the material, makes the user to come closer, touch it and sit next to it.

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.

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.
