Spot

Conceived from the perception of the new ways of using space and the new habits of the contemporary everyday life, this sofa stands out due to the many functions it can perform with the addition of accessories to its backrest, making it possible to study, work, place and store objects, and recharge electronic devices in the same space. Spot comes in many shapes, suiting several layouts and supplying in one place the needs of a room. It also stimulates the often forgotten human relations, creating a welcoming and functional environment that is capable of conceiving memories.

Meditation

This is a seat with a curved surface shape, people can easily achieve cross legged sitting by it. This seat ware can effectively distribute the force of the buttocks of the human body evenly to the outside of the knee and the thigh. Even if keeping long time this posture, we will not feel tired. The back can feel the support of the caudal vertebrae, increasing the support of the waist. This design is not only a reflection of culture, but also a study of ergonomics.

VinosYViandas

The project abstracts the wine world in a fashion that the space is created as a formal changer using circumferences as the leitmotive and materials that are related to this imaginary. The process that the project used is the juxtaposition of several ribs, that are atomized in both directions, creating a lineal space reminding the antique vaults. Therefore, the different situations appear organically such as the counter, tasting table and exhibition-sale space in consonance with the materials used such as wood, stone and the mirror reflections atmosphere.

public sauna and restaurant

Loyly

With Loyly Helsinki offers foreign visitors a public sauna experience, a must when visiting Finland. The building was designed slim and elongated so as not to cut the narrow park. The volume is kept as low as possible so that it doesn't block views from the future residential blocks. The sauna is developed into an easy-going, faceted construction that is more part of the park than a conventional building. When the wooden building turns gray, it will become more like a rock on the shoreline. The project was first fully FSC-certified building in F inland and second in Scandinavia.

Stocker

The Stocker is a fusion between a stool and a chair. The light stackable wooden seats are suitable for private and semiofficial facilities. Its expressive form underlines the beauty of local timber. The intricate structural design and construction enables it with a material thickness of 8 mm of 100 per cent solid wood to create a robust but light article weighing only 2300 Gramm. The compact construction of the Stocker allows space saving storage. Stacked onto each other, it can easily be stored and due to its innovative design, Stocker can be pushed completely below a table.
