Chair

5x5

The 5x5 chair is a typical design project where the limitation is recognised as a challenge. The chair's seat and the back are made of xilith which is very difficult to be shaped. Xilith is the raw material that can be found 300 meters under the ground's surface and is comined with a coal. Currently the majority of the raw material is thrown away. From environmental point of view this material generates waste on the earth's surface. Therefore the idea about the chair design seemed to be very provocative and challenging.

Electric Scooter

UT5

Ut5 is an electric scooter designed for urban commuting. The form takes inspiration from supercars, with a forward-leaning silhouette, a wide stance and racing graphics. A full-metal frame provides rigidity, and the body is finished with a multi-layer paint that contrasts matte gunmetal gray with bright metallic silver. A dual-motor drive, a dual-suspension system and wide-diameter tires improve handling. A modular external battery extends the range. At the front, a steel-reinforced tube serves as a carry handle when the scooter is folded, and a steel cable lock secures parking.

Air Sync

Air Sync is a garment developed in response to increasing heat related risks affecting cities and outdoor work environments. The design organizes airflow within the internal structure of clothing to support localized thermal comfort while maintaining a stable external form. Internal airflow pathways guide cooling air toward thermally sensitive areas of the human body. This structure enables adaptation across a wide range of applications from formal wear to medical uniforms, supporting both everyday use and specialized professional environments.
