Robot

Robot is a door handle designed as a small architecture. The shape recalls a simple profile from which surfaces extend and rotate to give the right grip for the palm and the thumb. A horizontal plane protrudes from the top so the palm can push the handle down, while the main surface extends in two directions to invite the thumb to push forward. Squared shapes and sharp corners let the handle blend with the architectural environment. The handle is made from one piece of brass, offered in polished chrome, satin chrome, satin graphite or matt black enamel finishes.

Cilindro

Cilindro is a mobile desk designed for home working. The cylindrical body divides into two semi-cylinders. One half serves as a container with shelves, while the other half opens into a horizontal work surface. A telescopic steel leg folds out from the underside and holds the surface at 720 millimetres high. The semi-cylinders are made of curved MDF panels coated with laminate, and six wheels allow easy movement through interior spaces. Folding steel panels at the base give access to cable storage. The rounded form avoids sharp edges and suits small rooms.

Suite

Suite Stool is a set of three seats designed for small homes. The three parts nest together to form one compact unit and can be pulled apart for separate use.

The seats are made of plywood, which gives strong support, and all three parts are cut from a single wood panel measuring 1.2 by 2.4 meters. The compact shape allows flat packaging and quick assembly. Each unit measures 500 by 400 by 450 millimeters.

Voronoi

The helmet is inspired by 3D Voronoi structure which is widely distributed in Nature. With a combination of parametric technique and bionics, the bicycle helmet has an improving external mechanical system. It's different from traditional flake protection structure in its unabridged bionic 3D mechanical system. When hit by an external force, this structure shows better stability. At the balance of lightness and safety, the helmet aims to provide people with more comfortable, more fashionable, and safer personal protection bicycle helmet.

Saltatur

Saltatur is a long-span table designed as a prefabricated composite structure. The table combines a compression-only concrete body, post-tensioning steel rods and an ultra-thin glass top. The glass top is shaped as a funicular three-hinged arch spanning 3.75 meters. The structural form was developed with three-dimensional graphic statics, so the concrete body is held in compression by tension ties at the top and bottom. The discrete spatial system reduces the volume of concrete and the carbon footprint while preserving the mass needed for structural performance.
