Parachute

When listening to Coldplay's first album, it suddenly occurred to the designer to look up the word parachute. It seems that the name parachute comes combining the Italian parare (to protect) with the French chute (to fall). Yusuke Watanabe thought that was a rather fine name. Yusuke Watanabe tried to think of devices that protect against falling. When in use, the plank for the section being used falls, and hangs there. Their coat, their magazine and more this protects them from falling. The sight of looking down on their parachute from up above is rather pleasing, too.

Graphic

The Graphic sofa provides a more structured seating, referring to the sofas of the past where people sat more upright to talk. The shape of the piece derives from two circular shapes, one being an extension of the first. The sofa is comfortable and perfect for public spaces such as receptions, once they promote a formal way of seating.

Wings

The furniture design is inspired by the life form of a butterfly. Through refining the wing form of a butterfly in different states and combining with the single support structure of home seat, it evolves into angular and clever seat form and the overall style is relatively lively, giving people a sense of lightness and vitality. And the manufacturing process is 3D printed in one. The wrapping seat and back provide a comfortable experience for the seat, and the interconnected seat structure makes the seat stronger.

Clover

The structure of the stool is inspired by the classic Romanesque arch and the top surface is in the shape of a four-leaf clover. Each "leaf" is made by pieces of wood strips in mosaic pattern. The curvy stool legs are carved by CNC machine in the first step and then fine tuned by hand polishing. Connected by a bespoke mortise and tenon joint in the center, it ensures the stability of the structure, in addition, breaks the traditional orthodox image of Chinese woodwork. This piece of creature integrates modernity and heritage in terms of both design and crafts.

Balanco

With the persistence of the pandemic, staying at home has become a new norm. In the most highly populated and dense city, finding peace and mental wellness can be difficult. Inspired by the pebble towers, Balanco consists of a series of multifaceted blocks, offering unlimited possibilities to arrange, position, and stack. As it requires significant patience and calmness to balance the blocks, it serves as one of the practical yet fun solutions for friends and families to enjoy with one another. When it is not used as objects for play, it doubles as stools and tables for adults and children.
