This is a new stool I've been working on, it's a light wireframe structure with a wooden seat. The concept for this stool was to make something out of very few parts (4) legs, rings and seat. The upper ring is very useful when it comme to pick up or move the stool, this because of the small gap between the seat and the exterior ring ( O stands for orbit, the ring trace and orbit around the seat) and the lower ring is a little wider to prefectly become a nice a comfortable foot rest when in use. Materials are brushed stainless steel structure and the seat is solid beech wood or oak. I will add more images for details later on.



This is a set of two cups in porcelain or melamine. I've called them "couple cups" because of the handles; the cups have two different grips representing male and female symbols. These cups are also stackable. I wanted to design a new simple cup, for serving coffee & tea trying to create a cup with a shape that can me easily recognized by its handle, the essence of the project. click here for more images >
Punch Coffee Mugs Second Limited Edition can be recognize by the bottom black signature. (100) and the First Limited Edition is recognized by the same signature in light blue print in the bottom of the mug. I will probably change something in every edition so people can recognize the cups the bought. This is a picture of the white version of the second limited edition mug.

Whether you are a sunday afternoon beach lounger or a serious trekker, packing your kit demands attention to weight and packability. Designer J.C.Karich thought about both these issues as he developed prototypes for his flat-pack cutlery. With is salad servers, dessert spoons and other cutlery, Karich reminds us of the innate beauty of plastic and creates a design that we simply can't throw away, but lovingly keep for another day.

The “Stack” stool, is a very simple yet sculptural piece of furniture, it made out of discs of solid wood, these discs are piled up increasing in diameter all the way up to the seat composed of 3 larger diameter discs, all the discs are mounted disaxed. This gives the stool a particular organic and sculptural shape.
Il s'agit d'une idée très simple, faire d'un système de rangement, un objet plus amusant en référence a un jeu bien connu comme le morpion (tic tac toe en anglais).


Petit Bureau ou table d'appoint sur un seul tréteau en acier chromé et tablette en bois plaqué. Grâce au décalage du tréteau et a son design asymétrique, le plateau est en équilibre, et sa stabilité est accentuée lorsque l'on pose un objet dessus. Il n'y a pas de mécanisme ni d'attaches complexes. Ses composants se montent et se mettent en place facilement. L'encombrement une fois rangé est minimal.



I Started experimenting with curved surface shapes from plastic bottles, which ultimately resulted in his elegant fork and spoon Flat Salad set design. The design has been picked up by Milan-based disposable/sustainable cutlery and table accessories company Pandora Design, presented in their new collection during the Milain Fair.
This project came out after a workshop under direction of the Campana Brothers, who guided me during the research process, the first approach to was to use empty plastic bottles and container to create new products, so at the beginning I was looking for shapes that existed already in the bottles trying to smartly cut them out, then using the flat parts of the containers I figured a simple way to fold the plastic sheet to obtain a curved and strong structured shape, yet ergonomic.
The constraints recycling disposable materials can ultimately end up in simple projects like this one.
