Zulu Two Heir Mountain Bike for Kids

Zulu Two Heir

Zulu Two Heir is a 16-inch hardtail mountain bicycle designed for very young riders on trails. The long wheelbase and slack geometry are forgiving to children who are still learning to ride on trails. A low bottom bracket and short crank lengths keep the rider close to the ground while supporting good pedaling ergonomics. The frame is made of 6061 aluminum alloy, and hydraulic disc brakes give simple and strong stopping. The air fork is made for 16-inch wheels, uses carbon fiber and aluminum to limit weight, and can be adjusted for light riders.

Xu Wei Art Museum

Xu Wei

Xu Wei is a lighting design for an art museum in Shaoxing, a Chinese city with a history of 2,500 years. The museum stands within an old residential quarter, so the lighting is kept low-key and calm. L-shaped light troughs and linear wall washing fixtures are hidden on the facades to brighten the walls evenly. Faint light marks the bronze statue of the artist, and tree shadows fall along the corridor. The square is lit at a moderate level, and hidden projection allows different scenes for public cultural events.

Multifunction Mirror

Multifunction

Multifunctional is a mirror designed for small living spaces. The unit combines a dressing mirror, a coat rack, a storage tray and a shoe mirror in one piece. Geometric hooks hold coats and bags. The tray in the middle holds keys, watches and glasses. The angle of the tray can be adjusted, and a mirror on the underside works as a second mirror. Set flush with the upper mirror, the tray forms a full-length mirror; turned downwards, the tray shows shoes. A beech wood base adds stability, and flat-panel packaging reduces transport volume.
