Wednesday, 13 August 2025

Takumi

Takumi is a jewelry cabinet that combines Japanese craft principles with contemporary furniture construction. The cabinet has fifteen drawers with chamfered edges and a concealed sliding system that works without lateral panels, creating a floating drawer effect. The interior is lined with natural leather and fitted with removable suede dividers for flexible organization. The brass handle is cast by the lost-wax method using reclaimed offcuts. The design turns the storage of personal jewelry into a calm and attentive routine.

Luxury Whispers

Luxury Whispers is a residential interior design for a 168 square meter home in Taipei City, Taiwan. The layout includes a living room, dining room, open kitchen, study, three bedrooms and five bathrooms. An open plan connects the living room, study and dining area, so natural light reaches deep into the home. Curved elements soften sharp corners, and a vaulted ceiling adds a sense of height. Materials include large format tiles, marble, titanium coated panels, fluted glass and natural wood veneer. Layered indirect lighting creates a warm atmosphere.

Red Brick

Red Brick is a hotel interior at Qinglong Mountain, created through the adaptive reuse of an old wharf. Reclaimed red clay bricks form a light permeable screen instead of a solid wall. The bricks are perforated and held by a concealed stainless steel system, so no wet mortar is used on the facade. Daylight passes through the small openings and casts changing patterns on the interior surfaces. The dry assembly protects the fragile bricks, reduces water use and allows later disassembly. The project reuses heritage material as an active building element.

Chair

Friday, 8 August 2025

Soo no.2

Soo No. 2 is a wooden chair designed for everyday seating. In most chairs the rear legs continue upward to support the backrest. In Soo No. 2 the rear legs and the backrest supports are separated into independent elements. The separation improves structural stability and creates a clear visual balance. The legs are cylindrical and the seat is woven with Danish cord. All structural joints use mortise and tenon joinery, and through joints form small diamond-shaped details along the sides of the frame. The armrests and backrest supports are fixed with discreet brass pins.
