Lead holder

Sostanza

Sostanza is a simplified lead holder that combines the warmth of a traditional pencil with the convenience of a propelling pencil. It's composed of only two pieces, the lightweight wooden body and the external ring that slides up to lock the lead in place. Its functioning is elemental but not taken for granted, all the mechanisms have been eliminated, in order to simplify the assembling process and improve its sustainability. Sostanza is a handmade object, entirely produced in Italy using beautiful natural materials.

Urban living room

City Lounge, St. Gallen

The granulated rubber flooring unifies every square and spared spot of the Raiffeisen quarter into a homogeneous whole. A particularly identity-building feature is its function as a haptically pleasant, cosy red carpet, that unfolds over the entire furniture. With its soft, pleasing material haptics, the amorphous silhouettes of the furniture present a deliberate contrast to the hard precision of the built surroundings.

Stocker

The Stocker is a fusion between a stool and a chair. The light stackable wooden seats are suitable for private and semiofficial facilities. Its expressive form underlines the beauty of local timber. The intricate structural design and construction enables it with a material thickness of 8 mm of 100 per cent solid wood to create a robust but light article weighing only 2300 Gramm. The compact construction of the Stocker allows space saving storage. Stacked onto each other, it can easily be stored and due to its innovative design, Stocker can be pushed completely below a table.
