Glass

Island

Island glass was inspired by Korean islands, Dokdo and Ulleungdo. The inspiration came from the bottom of the glass after viewing the flipped-down soju glass on the table. Soju is the most popular Korean liquor. The glass shape consists of a streamline based on the shape of the Korean language at the bottom of the glass. The shape engraves an image of a floating island on the ocean when the Island Glass is displayed. The material consists of an unleaded crystal that expresses clear texture and delicate details and at the same time manufactured harmlessly to the human body and environment.

Light Art

Solo Exhibitions Unlimited

The traceable light should be clean, it should not be muddy. The designer has reconsidered the property of light, light is a kind of wave, should choose the simple pure light wave. Projection lamp can make the shadow clear and pure in the space, the boundary is clear. What the designer needs is this kind of true expression, in which the viewer sees the object as it is, and is not disturbed or influenced by various other factors, including the influence from light. As the diamond sutra said in the should do so view.

Spa Lighting Design

Euphoria Retreat

The Spa at the Euphoria Retreat, is located in Mystra. It is a four-story building, of 3.000 m2, that is carved into the base of a mountain. The lighting for each space was considered as a unique piece, contributing to the crescendo of the ultimate relaxation experience. As daylight would vary substantially from one space to another, custom luminaires were designed to imitate daylight conditions, thus harmonizing the transitions through spaces and enhancing the immersive architecture.

Cage

Cage lighting is produced with hot glass blowing and metal forming techniques. The amorphous and blown shaped units provide light refraction at different rates. Lighting units create an illusionic and crystalline effect on the glasses. Emphasizing the communication between light and freedom and the organic bond with a transparent, warm material like glass is the main idea in the design. Metal baskets resembling a cage are used in this series. One of them is the pinter, which is actually a tool used for fishing. This object is used as a lighting element in the design.

Tea Set

Wednesday, 29 March 2023

Attimo

Attimo (meaning "moment") tea set is made of first-class thin-walled bone china. The metaphor of the shape of objects is a stopped moment of time. The handle-stone falls on the smooth surface of the porcelain, and creates "circles on the water" running along the object. So every touch for the handle is a touch for frozen time. This complex asymmetric shape of the service items is especially difficult when implemented in porcelain. However, the use of the hollow handle technique, proactive correction of firing deformations, made it possible to achieve an ideal geometry.

Corner Seating

Tuesday, 28 March 2023

Cornnie

A range of seating designed for corner spaces, for a solitary moment, which conveys the message “everyone needs space for themselves”. The stools create an interface between people and space. This interrelationship leads to the specific characters of the stools, and these characters hint to the users how they can use the space in a novel way. Users can feel comfortable in corner spaces and create a relatively personal space there without building a wall between each other. Instead of seeing togetherness as the answer, the designer has focused on people's tendency towards esclusion.
