ZEN armchair
The Zen armchair is inspired by the synthesized silhouette of a meditating monk, reducing the lines which defines his shape to the very minimum, while still preserving the formal characteristics that resemble the beautiful contour of a person in a meditation stance.
Just like the monk, who patiently cultivates a light mind and a strong spiritual foundation, this armchair has a very light powder coated aluminum seat, supported and structured by a very strong steel foundation.
We´re looking for a mindful and reliable manufacturer for this project. Contact us if you´re interested.

Symbiosis Lamp
symbiosis:
1. Biology A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that benefit each member.
2. A relationship of mutual benefit or dependence.
The Symbiosis lamp has an internal spring action mechanism that allows it to functionally adapt to most kind of cylindrical recipients and objects. Covered by an elastic fabric cap, it also adapts aesthetically to those objects, creating a relationship between them.
Two objects working as one. One cannot exist without the other. A product design relationship with endless possibilities.

Mirror, mirror...
This design talks about vanity, greed and all other selfish feelings, which are the real weapons of mass destruction. However, solidarity, altruism, generosity and hope are also weapons that can be used for good.
We are all weapons. You just have to decide which kind you are.

Light Drop wall lamp
The Light Drop design was created to make people think about how we are dealing with our natural resources, in this particular case, the water, which is the main source of energy for every living organism in this fantastic world. Water is energy indeed.
This wall-mounted lighting element illuminates the custom-molded polycarbonate bulb with an embedded, dimmable LED in the faucet, which is intuitively controlled by the tap -- the more you twist, the more light you get -- which also is a good way to contextualize energy use (though at a greatly reduced rate, compared to an incandescent version of the same design.
This design won the Third Prize in the Bright LED international design competition, by design boom.
Produced and sold by Wever & Ducre, Belgium.

Each layer is supposed to be available in several different colors, so each lamp shade could have a complete customizable look and color palette.
It ´s made in powder coated aluminum, with diffuse-reflective coating on the inner surfaces, to optimize luminosity propagation.

Hope Table
The hope table design is not only about hope, it is about beauty and visual poetry. It is about telling other young designers like me to never give up creating original designs.
There are great ideas everywhere…You just have to look into the right way. Maybe ideas are just like a message in a bottle, floating in the deep ocean, just waiting for the right people to find it.

Once Was Comb
We are so used to some everyday objects that sometimes we don´t realize what´s behind them, where do they came from.
Great part of the exotic wood that is consumed in USA and Europe are illegally imported from developing countries like Brazil.
This comb reminds us of what it once was in the past.
It once was a tree, it once was alive.
The emptiness of its negative form remind us of its original silhouette, which no longer exists.

Fishcage
Everyday we live the illusion of freedom but, in fact, we are just like fishes in a bowl.
We are trapped by invisible borders like, ignorance, lies, rules, hypocrisies and old paradigms and concepts.
The fish in the bowl thinks he is free, because he has passed all his life in that condition.So do we.
The Fishcage comes to remember us that the first step to be free is finding the real obstacles that keep us away from the real freedom.

FASTFOOD - fruit bowl

Alfred, The Hit Cock - Door Stopper
Here is another design inspired by Alfred Hitchcock.
We don´t actually know why Mr.Hitchcock inspires us that much, but we couldn´t resist making a bit of word puzzling with his name this time.
This poor rooster´s task is to keep your doors from slamming and he will accomplish this hard mission even if it costs his own life!
It´s supposed to come with a customization kit, so you can sew up some bandages or stitches to heal your friend and make this task easier for him.

Lousy Luxury - Champagne Glass
Sometimes, when people drink really expensive Champagne, most part of them have no idea of what they are really drinking.
How about if someone fills some very expensive Champagne bottles with ordinary Champagne? I bet that most part of the people wont even notice the difference.
What about if we do the opposite? Would someone really enjoy an expensive Champagne, drinking it from a glass shaped as an used condom, which is for most part of the people, a really repulsive object?
For some, It might not be a problem. Some people do pretty lousy stuff for money, fame and luxury.

It´s supposed to come with some 3mm acrylic additional shelves, so you can store small items safely, without dropping them in the spaces between the swords.

Saci chair
This chair design is a tribute to one of the most popular folk character in Brazil.
Saci is a one-legged black elf with holes in the palms of his hands. An incorrigible prankster.
Thanks to a custom "U" molded, skirt like 6mm acrylic sheet, the Saci chair really is a "sittable" chair.
