Wave

Wave is a coffee table made of ash wood. It combines opposites in many ways. The shape of the table resembles the stairs of the pyramids and the form of waves. So, it displays man-made and natural forms at the same time. The softness of the wave counterparts the angularity of the structure. Beside being a static object, it also gives the impression of dynamic motion by the fan-like rotation of the parts. Wave provides a new visual sight from every angle. By this it symbolizes the variety of nature. Wave does not contain any fittings or stiffeners. It holds itself.

Hotel Amenities

Marn

Having inspiration from the festive snacks of traditional Tainan culture (an old city in Taiwan full with cultural heritage), by transforming them into a set of hotel amenities, these series of festive snacks always known to the local as "Marn", means fulfillment in Chinese culture; turtle-shaped rice cake as hand soap and soap dish, mung bean cake as toiletries, tang yuan sweet dumpling as hand cream and steamed bun & Tainan brown sugar bun cake as tea set. Tainan culture heritage could be widespread to the world as the hotel is a nice platform to promote local culture.

Biometric Camera

Argus

Argus is a biometric camera designed for identity checks in secure offices, airports and checkpoints. Argus was created as a low cost alternative to more expensive biometric systems and staffed checkpoints. A camera with a long zoom lens is housed vertically inside a slim cylindrical pillar. Only a lightweight mirror moves to provide pan and tilt, which allows a compact size and fast motion. Argus can identify about 10 people per minute at a distance of 3 to 8 feet. The serious and minimal form hides the high speed movement.

Sofa

Wednesday, 7 January 2026

QWERTY

QWERTY is a sofa bed shaped like a computer keyboard. Each key forms a soft cushion that supports the user while working at the office or at home. Micro electric motors, controlled by a remote unit, adjust every key cushion separately, so the whole surface can be reshaped. The remote offers ten preset settings, and further settings can be added. QWERTY can be used as a sofa, as a bed or as a fully customized support. The design turns a familiar everyday image into flexible furniture with a light touch of irony.
