“Bookmarking” is one of few habits which is almost as commonly used in digital information organization systems as in physical ones. Luciol was designed to provide a better solution for the storage, accessibility and organization of printed media. It provides an efficient solution to personal or public collections of media by storing all the information you would otherwise store in your memory, in “smart bookmarks”.

Blue Desk was designed to “look invisible”. It’s glass drawers allow seeing through the body. It was made out of Baltic Birch plywood, stainless steel and glass. It aims for simplicity as well as sophistication through details.

Red Table was constrained to be designed and made in one week. Such a motivation allowed for playfulness and experimentation. The form was developed with the desire to challenge proportions and function. The project was aimed to be more about objects and their personalities than about their function. It was made out of Birdseye Maple and steel.

Tulip drawer pulls were created using prototyping techniques. From early on in the process the form was developed and tweaked in Solidworks. Refinement was done using a z-core printer. After getting a final high resolution SLA print of the form a silicone mold was made. To make the multiples urethane and pigment was used with the mold.

Music Box’s form was derived from sound waves that the simple mechanism produces. The form was created in Solidworks and printed by a z-core printer. Utilizing technology to make objects which are impossible to craft by hand was one of the main objectives of the project.

Bodum Bag was designed as a result of a collaboration with Erik Glaser and Jason Howell. Understanding the Bodum brand and the market demographics lead to a contemporary design with a lot of function hidden inside. The design details were sent to a manufacturer in China to be made into a production prototype.
