Sunday, 3 August 2025

Flora

Flora is an armchair designed for free and informal rest. The continuous curved form removes the boundaries between seat, backrest and arms, inspired by the opening of a flower bud. The asymmetrical shell allows sitting, leaning or lying in several positions, without mechanisms or adjustments. The base is made of solid tauari wood and the shell of pressed curved multilaminate wood, finished by hand and upholstered with sustainable materials. A loose roll cushion adds support in different uses. Flora measures 108 by 110 by 90 centimetres.

Ceramic Speaker

Upcycled Echo

Upcycled Echo is a series of ceramic smart speakers made from discarded ceramic decals. In Jingdezhen, about 5 percent of ceramic decals are discarded each year. These reclaimed decals are cut, recombined and collaged onto durable porcelain shells, then fired with high precision to protect the surface. Integrated high-fidelity components provide balanced sound, and the speakers connect to smartphones for music playback and voice interaction. The design reduces industrial waste and links ceramic tradition with modern audio technology.

Espresso Coffee Machine

Co2ffe

The Co2ffe espresso machine is a semi-automatic domestic system that uses standard CO₂ canisters, such as SodaStream, to generate 9 bar brewing pressure required for espresso extraction. The replacement of a conventional vibratory pump reduces noise and vibration to a soft hiss. This alternative pressure system allows an open structural layout that avoids a closed, box like housing and makes the brewing process visible during use. The design integrates patented technology developed to produce crema in line with Italian espresso formula, 25 ml of water, 9 bar, and 7 grams of coffee.

Use is simple: the folding panel is opened, the balls are loaded, and practice begins. The robot measures 392 by 271 by 448 millimetres. The aim is to make advanced training accessible to players of all levels.
