Dee

The DEE pendants are two pendants sharing the same metal top, dimensioning and form factor. The DEE glass version is the more modern version of the two with the dusted part of the glass only being in the bottom part. It mimes a kind of flowfeeling, when the pendant is hung in a room, looking almost like mist caught in a bowl. The DEE Metal is the more contemporary version of the two. A classic metal shade is distributing the light down and the opalized diffuser is making sure the light is soft and comfortably glowing, which makes the metal version useful and pleasant hanging over any table.

Sun Tile

The Tile Lighting Concept is born from a Portuguese traditional element, the tile. Inspired by an 19th century tile facade building with bidimensional circular graphics, gave rise to a tridimensional interpretation of anthropomorphic character, through a smooth spherical surface. Tower, Horizon and Level models are designed as interior lighting elements, in vertical position, suspension or fixed to the wall.

CaoHeJing KeHui

The concept of One Cube – One Reflection was the source of inspiration in façade lighting of a 20-floor commercial office tower in CaoHeJing, Shanghai.

15 degree

Playing with people’s inherent desire for order and balance are the types of human condition that 15° is trying to explore. The form moves away from a two-dimensional graphic to a sculptural, and pleasing form. My inspiration comes from asymmetry. The asymmetry is not just defined by its physical presence. Therefore the essence of asymmetry could be balanced. The balanced form also creates asymmetry. It is the condensation of stories of the encounter with the place.
