MODEL FLOOR LAMP, 2010


The Model is a floor lamp constructed by bending plastic-coated steel rods. Its minimalistic, reduced silhouette promotes the light bulb as the star, while the cable becomes the only colorful accent in otherwise monochromatic object.
The series of light fixtures Model were designed for Reaktor’s workshop in 2010.

PILOT PILOWS, 2010


The surfaces of Pilot pillows were inspired by origami patterns. The design process blends the traditional techniques of tailoring and sewing with contemporary materials.  Made of waterproof material Tyvek, pillows are ideal for outdoor use. The upper surface can be more or less perforated, as required.
The pillows Pilot were designed for Reaktor’s workshop in 2010.  

FIGURA CLOTHES STAND, 2011


Multifunctional clothes stand for, well, everything (coats, shirts, bags, etc). Ethereal and minimalistic - almost a line-sketch - the hanger easily fits in any interior or exterior. The Figura is made of plastic-coated steel rods and is available in black or white.
