The seat and back cushions combine layered polyurethane foam and feather filling, upholstered in brown linen. Surfaces are hand sanded and finished with a matte varnish. The design applies Japanese woodworking principles to a Brazilian material.

Otsuchi

Otsuchi is a table lamp made from deer leather sourced in Otsuchi, Iwate, Japan. The town was struck by the tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Local crops were later damaged as the number of deer increased and the number of residents declined. Local hunters began a game meat business to make use of deer hunted as pests. The lamp is built from a 3D printed structure covered with deer leather, and the texture recalls the form of a living animal. The design honors the life of the deer and offers a calm presence.

Dreame Lux Beverage Master

Dreame Lux Beverage Master is a refrigerator with an integrated beverage system. A sparkling water system and a pure ice system are built into the freezer door, so separate appliances are not needed and interior capacity is preserved.

The door panel is made of 1.5 mm stainless steel with a nano-blasted finish and a transparent ceramic coating, giving a smooth matte surface that resists scratches and deformation.

The refrigerator offers ten convertible modes and allows the freezer to be converted into a fridge in about ten minutes.

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.

Nevi

Designed by Andrei LiLo, Nevi is a desk lamp built around a self centering kinetic system. Constructed from hand finished Aisi 304 stainless steel, the lamp features a spherical base and a slender vertical stem. It functions as a task light with a focused beam, while also responding to touch with a gentle oscillation that returns the object to its vertical axis. The project extends to its aluminum packaging, which is designed to transform into a secondary ambient light. Released as a numbered limited edition, Nevi explores the relationship between kinetic behavior and material presence.
