Pagoda

Pagoda is a desk lamp designed without an external switch. The lamp has a pagoda-shaped shell that holds the light source inside. The control is integrated into the shape.

PlouNuvol

PlouNuvol is an interactive light installation shaped as a large inflatable cloud. Visitors enter the cloud and take part in a light and sound show. A conductor teaches a simple choreography that turns the body into a percussion instrument. The sounds recall the phases of rain and trigger light effects inside the cloud. Artificial fog and ten tons of salt on the floor reflect the colors of the walls. The outer skin is made of flame retardant polyester with a PVC coating, so the show is also visible from outside.

Glow Globs

Glow Globs is an inflatable lighting installation made of white nylon fabric, a blower fan and LED lights. The installation consists of three abstract forms, each measuring between 2.5 and 3 meters in each direction. The shapes were developed with three-dimensional modeling and were inspired by smoke and air flow. Each form is built from 80 to 100 sewn panels. LED lights are suspended inside, so the color changing light is diffused softly through the fabric. The forms collapse when the fan is switched off, so the installation can be moved and deployed at other locations.

Froggie

Froggie is a table lamp inspired by the double life of amphibians between land and water. The design captures the moment when a frog rises above the water surface. The eyes of Froggie serve as the two light sources, while the exposed body above the water forms the base. Both eyes are bendable, so the eye shapes can be adjusted to different positions to create varied lighting effects. A touch sensor button is placed in each nostril, so each light can be switched on and off separately. Froggie explores biomimicry as a source of playful design.

The light is produced by LED cells on a base. The head is made of bronze, the top lid of natural marble and the outer shell of glass. The bottom lid holds a circuit for wireless charging, so the lamp can be carried between rooms.
