Pineapple Pins

Pineapple Pins is a packaging design for push pins. The form is inspired by the pineapple fruit, whose rhythmic outer scales suggest the arrangement of the pins. The package measures 80 by 80 by 80 millimetres, so it fits in a hand, a pocket or a bag. It is made from recyclable and biodegradable ground cardboard and printed by flexography, which replaces the common plastic case. When opened, the package presents an array of pins on each inner face and can be turned inside out for easier use. Used pins can be dropped back into the package.

Up to ten chairs can be stacked vertically.

Iko

Iko is a hanging chair designed as a quiet retreat within open offices. The form is based on the icosahedron, one of the five Platonic solids, and this geometry gives the design its name.

The chair hangs from hemp ropes. Iko can be used to read, focus, make a phone call, work or rest, without disturbing other people in the same room.
