The bicycle is an object in which the user can feel a seamless relationship to and subsequently the road. This relationship between body and object is echoed in bicycle design with tubes flowing seamlessly into one another, constantly changing shape, to improve function and aesthetic.

The Velo Chair is a response to modern bicycle design with its components seamlessly wrapping around the user, constantly changing form for comfort and then blending into the next component, leaving the user feeling at one with the chair.

With each surface being hand sculpted and constantly changing, a real tactile nature lends itself to the design, begging to be explored.

Flyte

is a levitating light. A shatterproof light bulb which hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered wirelessly through the air. There are no batteries and its low voltage LEDs makes it completely safe and harmless.

Each base is elegantly designed, crafted in Sweden from sustainable oak, ash and walnut.

The Light Bulb has been considered the most important invention since man-made fire but not so much has changed in design since Edison’s time 135 years ago.

We’d like to change this, so we’ve designed a new way to experience your light. One which is free from the constraints of gravity.

The hardware and electronics consist of an electro-magnetic base, sensors and a power adapter.

Magnus Celestii is a natural wooden desk that spirals up to the ceiling. Designed by Joseph Walsh Studio in Ireland, the sculpture and workspace uplifts the user’s spirits and inspires new heights of creativity. Specially made for the Artist House in Roche Court, the piece was crafted from olive ash and finished with white oil. The impressive design draws from forms and functions seen in Walsh’s earlier work.
