Flip

Flip Chair is inspired by the serene feeling of sitting on a grassy lawn, where one can enjoy the natural softness, warmth, and gentle breeze of the environment. The chair's flip theme embodies the graceful movement of grass in the wind, creating a dynamic and organic form. To achieve this effect, the fluidity and folds of the chair's seat are simulated and the wood was bent into shape using steam. The resulting product was then meticulously handcrafted to provide users with an authentic and immersive natural experience.

Corner Seating

Cornnie

A range of seating designed for corner spaces, for a solitary moment, which conveys the message “everyone needs space for themselves”. The stools create an interface between people and space. This interrelationship leads to the specific characters of the stools, and these characters hint to the users how they can use the space in a novel way. Users can feel comfortable in corner spaces and create a relatively personal space there without building a wall between each other. Instead of seeing togetherness as the answer, the designer has focused on people's tendency towards esclusion.

Tie

The tie chair 2020 is carved with the concept a chair that helps couples get along. The curve of the backrest is designed in such a way that when two people sit side by side, their bodies naturally snuggle together. As a seating for dining or to kick up your feet to enjoy your favorite book, it should suite any desired situation comfortably. Facing each other or side-by-side, the idea is to provide a format-less space allowing for people to be comfortable as they please.
