Plastic Recurrence Public Bench

Plastic Recurrence

Plastic Recurrence is a series of public benches made from recycled household plastic waste. The twelve benches were designed for a district town hall in Hong Kong, using plastic collected from the same district.

Tactile textures and uneven colour make every bench distinct. The curved form gently separates users and lets children sit in free postures.

Mob-Clock Clock

Mob-Clock

Mob is a desk clock formed by a graded Mobius strip mounted on a stand, with a small ball serving as the pointer. Time is a linear concept, yet common clocks repeat two cycles each day, AM and PM. On Mob, the ball moves in one direction along the single boundary of the Mobius strip and passes 24 hours without repetition. The main body is injection molded from PC and ABS, and the legs are made of metal bars. The clock marks time in steps of 15 minutes, without seconds, to support a calm and natural sense of time.

Traditional Finnish glass blowing techniques let the color move freely between the layers. The intent is to bring calm and a play of light and shadow into everyday interiors.

Rin Display Shelf

Rin

Rin is a display shelf made from Sendan wood from Okinawa Prefecture. The design of the pillars is inspired by the scenery of Japanese bamboo forests. Each pillar is formed by welding four iron rods of different lengths to a steel plate. The pillars are fixed to the wood with screws, which also helps prevent the solid wood from warping. The wood is left unprocessed, so its length and thickness vary and the natural form of each board stays visible. Books and small items can be placed between the pillars. The number of pillars can be increased to suit the space.

Lei Non Electric Aroma Diffuser

Lei

Lei is a non-electric aroma diffuser for home use. Lei needs no power source, because the heat of a candle creates a temperature difference in metal that generates electricity. The electricity drives a single blade fan, producing a gentle breeze that spreads the volatilized aroma through a room. A glass cylindrical dome raises the heat of the flame, a gap above the dome introduces oxygen, and the oval shape supports heat dissipation. Lei is made only of aluminum, iron and glass, all recyclable materials. The cordless form allows free placement and low maintenance use.
