Tura

The Tura Table draws inspiration from the pyramids, built from Tura stone, a symbol of resilience and history. This influence shaped its name and design, merging ancient and modern aesthetics. It features three stone-like bases, crafted from fiberglass to replicate stone's texture while reducing weight. A seamless glass surface, secured with silicone bonding, contrasts with the rugged texture below. The stones provide stability, while the glass adds lightness and functionality. This fusion of history and contemporary craftsmanship makes the Tura Table a timeless statement piece.

Cascade

Cascade is a one piece toilet designed for family bathrooms. A flowing chamfered edge runs from the bowl to the tank, giving Cascade a clear visual identity inspired by the movement of water. The seat has tabs on the outer edges, so hands stay away from less sanitary areas. The concealed trapway is installed without the visible holes and plastic caps found on many other models, which simplifies setup. Cascade is made of vitreous china and uses 4.8 litres per flush. The form also matches the other bathroom products of the same line.

Year of The Snake

Shedding the literal skin of zodiac iconography, this red packet series for the Year of the Snake is a reinterpretation. Across 16 packets and 4 visual themes, the serpent's essence is conveyed: fluid grace intertwined with enduring floral motifs. Drawing inspiration from the ouroboros symbol, the designs subtly reference cycles of repetition and renewal. The subtle acknowledgement of the Year of the Snake allows for the packets' use beyond the new year. The narratives embedded within each design add a layer of depth and intrigue to the collection.

Soo no.2

Soo No. 2 is a wooden chair designed for everyday seating. In most chairs the rear legs continue upward to support the backrest. In Soo No. 2 the rear legs and the backrest supports are separated into independent elements. The separation improves structural stability and creates a clear visual balance. The legs are cylindrical and the seat is woven with Danish cord. All structural joints use mortise and tenon joinery, and through joints form small diamond-shaped details along the sides of the frame. The armrests and backrest supports are fixed with discreet brass pins.
