Oleg

Oleg is a modular furniture system designed for flexible living spaces. Each Oleg module is a wooden container, cubic or spherical, fitted with several legs. Rotating a module changes its function, so Oleg can serve as a bedside table, a coffee table, a clothes hanger, a storage unit or a sideboard. Modules can be combined and stacked, and the legs interlock to form stronger joints as more weight is added. Each module weighs about seven kilograms and measures 45 centimetres across, which allows easy repositioning.

Huicong is an adjustable study chair designed for children. The chair is made of solid beech wood and plastic, and is shaped with large rounded corners for safety. The seat height, sitting depth and footrest height can be adjusted to suit children of different body shapes. The curved cushion supports a natural posture and reduces the load on the spine. The seat cushion and backrest can be installed and removed quickly, so seat covers of different colours can be changed easily. Wheels on the front legs make the chair simple to move.

Bumpy

Bumpy is a glass vase designed to hold flowers and to serve as an interior object. The vase is mouth blown and shaped by hand by glass studio craftsmen in Poland. Rough glass shards are placed on the rim, where they act as ornaments and recall the texture of melting ice. A calm Scandinavian color palette gives the vessel a harmonious character. The simple shape suits a windowsill, a side table or a dining table. Bumpy holds a single flower branch and also looks complete when left empty.

Bubble

Bubble is a chair conceived as a collectible art object for private homes and public interiors. The rounded shapes suggest inflated softness, yet the frame is cast by hand from robust aluminium, creating a contrast between appearance and material. Aluminium was selected for its plasticity, which the designer considers the most alive of materials. The chair is produced through handcraft and casting, and the surface is satin finished for a matte sheen. Eight months and eighty kilograms of metal were needed, giving the seat a unique texture.
