Introducing the RIM COLLECTION, thoughtfully crafted to complement urban living within modern architecture. By embracing the vibrant hues of acrylic, an ambiance of distinct character is effortlessly achieved, radiating an interplay of light that transforms any environment. The dance of colors on modular acrylic parts is a captivating feature, enabling easy replacement and customization. This interplay fosters a profound connection between the furniture and its space, aligning my vision that furniture and architecture coalesce, forming a harmonious universe. The synergy of sleek metal tubes and interchangeable acrylic modules imbues spaces, whether offices, dining zones, or contemporary homes, with a minimalist elegance. Elegantly functional, the chair seamlessly merges practicality and visual allure, catering to discerning individuals in pursuit of a distinctive and chic seating experience.

EVADING COLOURS is a series of light sculptures exploring the extraordinary properties of Perspex that in certain aspects are close to glass. Its centrepiece is made of reeded acrylic, which adds texture and depth to the overall appearance. The reeded acrylic refers to a pattern of parallel ridges or grooves running along the surface, providing an interesting tactile and visual element. To enhance the aesthetics further, the colour hue is UV printed onto the reeded acrylic center piece. UV printing is a process that uses ultraviolet light to cure or dry the ink instantly, resulting in vibrant and durable colours. The UV printing method ensures that the color hue is precisely applied to the reeded acrylic surface, creating a vivid and eye-catching effect. When illuminated, EVADING COLOURS produces an enchanting glow, accentuating the texture and color of the lamp. This combination of textured acrylic, UV printing, and lighting creates a captivating visual display, making it a unique and attractive lighting fixture for any space.

FLOATING CANDLES: a collection of exquisite candle holders born from a material exploration. The artistry of metal tempering takes center stage as vibrant colors emerge, embellishing 25mm steel tubes. From single candlesticks to the 5-arm holder, each piece is meticulously polished before the dance of flame adds its unique hues. Set atop frosted acrylic tubes of matching dimensions, a captivating illusion of suspension comes alive, flawlessly balancing design. Illuminate spaces with the harmonious fusion of steel and light. Discover the allure of FLOATING CANDLES — where aesthetics meet ingenuity in every delicate, dancing glow.
