As the world grapples with the rapid depletion of natural resources, contemporary designers are increasingly focused on exploring sustainable materials. One such example is the Mua Lau Chair, which draws inspiration from a beloved Taiwanese snack known for its distinctive texture of crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior. Sitting in this chair is akin to being transported to a serene bamboo forest, as the gentle breeze wafts over the body, fostering a deeper connection with nature.
Rosuba is a pillow designed for side sleeping. The pillow has a double layer split structure, with a comfort layer on top and an ergonomic support layer below.

The filling is Polish down and white goose down, and the cotton satin cover is treated against mites and bacteria.

Tsuzumi has a symmetrical shape with two cups on either end, and each has a different color. You can use Tsuzumi to serve sake, some kind of strong alcohol, or delicacies, but just displaying it as a piece of art could satisfy you because of its nobility and gracefulness. It harmonizes with almost anything. Normally, makie is applied to the body or the inside bottom, but in the case of Tsuzumi, it is positioned as if it looks peeking out from inside. This is the very essence of Japanese beauty, which is modest but impressive. Layered urushi, tamenuri, creates graceful shades in the cup.
Su Series is a system of home cabinets designed for integrated interior storage. The series joins door units and wall cabinets to solve practical problems of fitting storage into a house. Aluminium and wood are used together, with mortise and tenon joints that lock metal and timber for added strength. Natural wood tones, matte finishes and deep chestnut red give a warm appearance. Storage modules can be selected and combined to suit different rooms. Wardrobe, bookshelf, wine cabinet and television units extend from the wall to form one continuous surface.
Equilibrio is a sculptural sink that explores the contrast between the countertop's delicate inclination and its robust volume. Made by the assembly and modeling of several stone pieces in order to achieve a rounded format, the actual sink is created by a diagonal section and a slight tilt of the upper portion of the piece. The suggested supports are asymmetrical, with a hollow tube covering the plumbing on one side and a skinny leg on the other, but this piece could also be used without the supports.
