MABY Smart Lighting System

MABY is a modular smart lighting system designed for building decorative light sculptures. The system uses flat cells in four shapes: triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon. The cells connect to one another, so many different structures can be formed. Colored pattern plates, called MABY skin, attach to each cell to change its appearance. Brightness, color and on or off status are adjusted by touching the cells or by using a mobile application. The intent is to support creative expression at home for users of many ages.

Whirlpool NeoFresh 265L

NeoFresh is a double door frost free refrigerator designed for households that shop weekly and need large and flexible storage. The freezer uses a circular air flow system that limits the loss of cold air when the freezer door is opened. An air tower with carefully placed vents sends cool air to the different sections for uniform cooling. Sealed crispers help preserve freshness, and adapter shelves allow the interior space to be adjusted. A sliding tray gives easy access to items at the back, and an anti-odour unit keeps the interior fresh.

Reverse

While time flies by, clocks have stayed the same. Reverse is not an ordinary clock, it's the reversal, a minimalistic clock design with subtle changes making it one of a kind. The hand facing inward rotates inside the outer ring to indicate the hour. The little hand facing outward stands alone and rotates to indicate the minutes. Reverse was created by removing all elements of a clock except its cylindrical base, from there imagination took over. This clock design aims to remind you to embrace time.

Makedo

Makedo is an open-ended system of tools for creative cardboard construction. The Makedo system is made up of seven elements that allow cardboard to be sawn, folded and connected without sharp edges. Screws and screwdrivers join up to six layers of corrugated cardboard, while a fold roller perforates lines for shaping. The tools are moulded from polypropylene, ABS and steel, and are sold as single tools, home kits or classroom kits. Creations can range from small handheld objects to large group builds. Makedo is intended to help children repurpose everyday cardboard through play.

Makedo Toolkit

Makedo Toolkit is a reusable set of tools for creative cardboard construction. The toolkit holds a Safe-saw, a Scrudriver, twenty-one Scru connectors and seven Scru XL connectors in a resealable pouch. With these three tool types, children from the age of four can cut cardboard, punch holes and join layers securely. Scissors, blades and tape place safety and function limits on young makers, so the toolkit was developed to remove those limits. Found cardboard can be built into objects of any size, alone or in groups, in classrooms, maker spaces, museums and homes.

Moon Gate

Motichair is a bar chair designed for seating and conversation. The frame uses circles to connect the support points, which balances the forces and reduces material loss. Mortise and tenon joints together with fully hidden dovetail joints make the structure stable. The chair is made of carbon fiber composite material combined with steam bent wood. The form is inspired by arches and moon gates in ancient Chinese gardens, and the circular openings give a broader visual sense. A two color treatment separates the circles visually.
