Photovoltaic Facade Shutter

Tuesday, 28 April 2026

Solarbreaker

Solarbreaker is a photovoltaic facade shutter that turns building surfaces into energy producing elements. The system is based on extruded aluminium profiles onto which solar panels are mounted. Each panel is tilted at forty five degrees for higher efficiency, and one module of one square metre can power sixteen LED bulbs. Assembly requires almost no tools, because the profiles are placed on the mounting and lock under their own weight. Cables are hidden inside the profiles. Besides facades, the same components can form fences, barriers and blinds.

Bicycle Helmet

Voronoi

The helmet is inspired by 3D Voronoi structure which is widely distributed in Nature. With a combination of parametric technique and bionics, the bicycle helmet has an improving external mechanical system. It's different from traditional flake protection structure in its unabridged bionic 3D mechanical system. When hit by an external force, this structure shows better stability. At the balance of lightness and safety, the helmet aims to provide people with more comfortable, more fashionable, and safer personal protection bicycle helmet.

Dash

Dash is a facial identification display designed for security screening in airports, stadiums, hospitals and event venues. Dash combines a camera, a processor, software, a touchscreen and LED panels with a biometric profile database. The LED panels adjust to changing light conditions, so clear photographs can be matched quickly and accurately against stored biometric profiles. The head enclosure measures 350 millimeters wide, 550 millimeters high and 150 millimeters deep, and it is held by a tapered powder coated steel stand. The large screen also shows information and advertising.

Door Lever Handle

Saturday, 25 April 2026

Hg

HG is a door lever handle based on the simple shape of a triangle. The design reduces the handle to a minimal triangular form that leaves a strong impression. The neck and the grip are integrated into one continuous body, so the triangular theme is kept along the whole handle. Every viewing angle shows triangular surfaces. The form is sculpted so that the handle remains comfortable and safe to hold. HG is made of anodised aluminium and plated brass and is offered in several finishes to suit different interior themes.

Robot

Robot is a door handle designed as a small architecture. The shape recalls a simple profile from which surfaces extend and rotate to give the right grip for the palm and the thumb. A horizontal plane protrudes from the top so the palm can push the handle down, while the main surface extends in two directions to invite the thumb to push forward. Squared shapes and sharp corners let the handle blend with the architectural environment. The handle is made from one piece of brass, offered in polished chrome, satin chrome, satin graphite or matt black enamel finishes.

Punto

Punto is a door handle designed for everyday doors. The form of Punto comes from research into historical handles and their shapes. The proportions follow a constant ratio of one to two, and this relation links all the geometries of the handle. Punto measures 150 by 60 by 50 millimetres. The handle is made by die casting in aluminium or in brass. Aluminium versions are powder coated, while brass versions are polished or chromed. The simplified shape helps the user read at once how the door is opened.
