Spiral of Life

In a fusion of mathematical structure and kinetic art, the Spiral of Life project presents a new direction for Kiriko glassware. This work captures the organic fluctuation of nature within a glass medium. The development originated from a collaboration between the designer and Ree, a paint dancer. By translating Fibonacci sequences into movement, Ree provided the conceptual framework for the design. Through 8 to 13 and 13 to 21 spiral ratios, the artisan connects traditional craft with biomathematics. The resulting harmony offers a rhythmic experience reflecting the natural pulse of the world.

Accordion

Accordion is a modular sofa built from a single base module. The base module changes size and shape through compression, similar to the bellows of an accordion. Many sofa configurations can be created from one module to suit different spaces. The body is made of high resilience compressible foam, and the wooden side panels are joined by strong ropes and adjustable knobs. Turning the knobs tightens the ropes and compresses the sofa. The sofa can also be compressed for flat pack packaging, which lowers packaging, storage and transport costs.
