Hanoi

Hanoi is a detachable sofa designed for flat packaging. The sofa is assembled in about four minutes without tools, glue or metal parts. Four beech wood pillars are rotated into threaded holes in the wooden base. Upholstered backrests and armrests are then attached to the pillars and fixed with threaded caps at the top of each pillar. Cushions are added last. The packed volume is two fifths of the assembled sofa, which reduces packaging, storage and transport costs. The structure recalls the Tower of Hanoi puzzle.

Babyfirst Q R943

Q R943 is a baby car seat designed for children aged 3 to 12 years. The seat weighs 5.8 kilograms and can be folded in two steps, first by folding both sides of the headrest inward and then lowering the backrest. Once folded, the seat occupies about one third of its original size and fits into a car boot. A handle allows the seat to be lifted with one hand. The backrest flanks rotate steplessly and the headrest offers 11 height settings, so the seat adapts to different body sizes and heights as a child grows.

Feiyu Technology 3Plus

Feiyu Technology 3Plus is a school backpack designed to support the spinal health of children. The backpack combines a patented dual helical spring structure with a three-dimensional load distribution system across nine points. The springs convert gravitational energy into elastic energy during movement, which reduces the felt weight and eases strain on the shoulders and spine. A wraparound system inspired by the fins of flying fish improves comfort. A reflective strip aids visibility at night, and a window at the spring structure allows the load to be checked.

Sound Wave

Sound Wave is a pendant lamp inspired by the visual form of a musical composition. The melody of Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain by Claude Debussy was converted into an image of a sound wave with a special program, and the resulting curve became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. The shape was then adjusted for better light properties and for mass production. Matte white glass is placed over a metal structure, and a decorative glass element in blue, gold, black or gray is set on top, so visible fasteners are avoided. The wire height can be changed from 100 to 3000 mm.
