Calligraphy Study

Calligraphy Study is an electric height-adjustable desk designed for children who learn Chinese calligraphy. Calligraphy is usually written while standing, so the desk height can be changed between 56 and 110 centimetres with a control panel that shows the current height. The desktop can be tilted from 0 to 60 degrees for drawing and reading. The frame is made of solid wood with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and rattan wickerwork covers the screen. Wooden holders keep brushes in place with magnets. A small mobile cabinet stores paper rolls and scrolls.

Sky Spa

Sky Spa is a wellness spa set on the top floor of a building in Hebei Province, China. The position above the surrounding buildings gives open views of the sky. The facade was renovated with large, minimalist floor-to-ceiling windows made of ultra-clear glass and aluminum alloy, bringing the outdoor scenery inside. Interior walls were removed to form an open layout that supports natural air flow, following the Chinese wellness idea of the flow of chi. High-gloss resin panels cover the ceiling and form a seamless surface. The spa offers a calm retreat from the city.

Infinity

Infinity is a console designed for living spaces. The console measures 1800 mm by 800 mm by 450 mm. Its base is carved in wood and formed as a geometric alveolar structure, softened by a series of curves. The curved forms are inspired by waves and other organic shapes found in nature. High-end craftsmanship from the artisan tradition of Brianza made the complex curves possible. An unusual finish is applied to the outer surface. Infinity can hold objects, works of art and lighting accessories, and also serves as a decorative element.
