MoFU are transforming toys that are also brainteaser puzzles. Starting as identically shaped cuboids that slide out of boxes on drawers, each MoFU unfolds into a different kind of animal - pig, monkey, tiger, hippo, and giraffe.

Folding a MoFU back into the correct cuboid shape so it can perfectly fit back into its box is a brainteasing challenge.

Interconnecting pins and pockets allow vertical, horizontal and angled assembly, so blocks are joined by blocks alone. The blocks are cut from high grade EVA rubber in palette colours by precision laser and water jet cutting. A dimensional tolerance of one millimetre supports assembly in multiple orientations. Sets contain 8 to 72 blocks with illustrated assemblies. Kayoni is intended to stimulate creativity, learning and logic through play.

Continue readingArgus is a water quality monitoring system based on a living plant. Nanosensors are injected into the leaves, where they remain within the intercellular space. The sensors produce a visible glow of a specific light wavelength. When lead from the surrounding water reaches the leaves, the glow is reduced, indicating that the water contains impurities. The plant samples water continuously and needs no electricity. A result appears within fifteen minutes to two hours, which is faster than laboratory testing.
Continue readingUna Corda is an acoustic piano built without a furniture case. The open design allows the sound to travel freely to the listener. The instrument has one string per note, a stainless steel frame and a double-layer soundboard. The stainless steel frame keeps the piano light, unlike the cast iron frames used in traditional pianos. The resulting tone is soft and clear. Una Corda is played like a traditional piano, and the visible mechanical parts show how each note is produced. The piano is hand-crafted and no chemicals are used.
Continue readingCNC Machining Center is a computer numerical control machine tool for metal processing. Milling, boring, drilling, tapping and thread cutting are combined in one device, so a single machine covers many production needs. A tool magazine holds various cutting and inspection tools, which are selected and changed automatically by the program during machining. The body measures 2090 by 3435 by 2678 millimeters and is made of metal. The form is intended to express precision and technology while meeting ergonomic requirements.
