New studio
New studio
June 5, 2009
After three months of installation, we are happy to announce that we are ratcheting our new Eindhoven studio up to working speed. Please update your records with our new address, and look out for the official opening to be announced!
Shades
Shades is a curtain that allows to regulate daylight exposure from direct
to fully indirect.
The design‘s modular mechanism bends panels of opaque textile, overlapping
them and thus shutting out direct light. The light‘s reflection is then
captured on the curved canvases, creating a lively and intensely plastic manifestation
of natural light inside the room.
Shades can be applied as a window shielding, a spatial design element, and
works in relation with both natural and artificial light.
Stackbox
Stackbox is a multimodal container which can be raised on legs for use as
a sideboard; stacked to form a shelf; or function as a transportation crate.
Its shape evolves from the central constructive element, the shaft accommodating
the legs. It serves to distribute the structural forces in the raised setup,
and distances the elements in a stacked alignment.
Long vase
The Long vase is conceived to afford for linear arrangements of flowers. Its columned shape originates from the incapacity of a single water tank to hold up such arrangements.
At the same time, its repetitive, scale-less shape and the immaculacy of
its industrial plastic material challenge both the centric forms and
craft-derived techniques that still dominate the vase typology.
c/amp
c/amp is an accent light which locks onto level boards by means of its own
weight. It features a movement switch, and adapts to different board thicknesses,
giving its use a plug-in feel.
223DCNC
223DCNC is a formal and mechanical study of the possibilities to create
three-dimensional constructs departing from a two-dimensional production environment.
Specific problematics like undercutting and hinges are resolved by employing
the thickness of the material as an agent to change the orientation of a connection.
