Coloniae

Coloniae embraces the concept of human-plant relationships by seeking a dialogue between objects and plants. Featuring perforated metal vases and tables, the series allows plants to climb and colonize, transforming furniture into hybrid organisms that become contained -as opposed to containing, plants.

Trace

Trace reinterprets the concept proposed with Trap Light, focusing on the use of materials capable of recycling outdoor light sources. Using photoluminescent pigments in combination with silicons, hand-made photoluminescent skins are produced to convert the unseen spectrum of sun energy into visible light.

Trap Light

Trap Light proposes a radical new approach to lighting design. By utilising photoluminescent pigments to capture escaping light, blown Murano glass become, both the shade and light source, emitting, absorbing, and re-emitting light. A thirty-minutes ‘charge’ of recycled light provides up to 8 hours of ambient lighting.
