As part of a project that explores the possibilities of biodegradable 3D printing technologies and the marketability of sporting goods, LUXE was born from this brief. LUXE is made up of layers of biopolymer plastics designed to contour the natural forms of the foot, thanks to 3D scanning devices, while the removable sole massages the base of the foot, while releasing remedial ointments that moisturize your skin. LUXE shoes aim to be a service provided at retreats and health spas as a form of performance therapy. This product is suitable for those that retain stress and tension on their feet, such as keen athletes, and would like to releave these symptoms.
The VALO pendant lampshades were designed with the modern home in mind, particularly focusing on trending aesthetics and ambience that is both current and inviting.

As technology continues to change the way we interact with one another, the DUEL head phones responds to this observation by allowing users to control their personal device to offer the opportunity to be selective with their interactions. The headphones are built with shutters that slide apart, allowing outside noise to enter as they listen to music. This gives the user the power to either close themselves off from their surroundings, or invite conversation and social activity, by simply swiping the shutters open.
Made entirely of salvaged materials perceived as waste, DESKTOP collection proves that "offcuts" can be more than disposable matter. The concept behind DESKTOP was to come up with simple and functional products that support changes in the way we look at remaining materials from an environmental point of view, so that as designers, we can try to learn to be more resourceful. The end result was a set of marketable desk and stationary organizers.
The SOTERIA bracelet was designed with the intention to be a wearable device that young girls can use on nights out to help them feel safer when they are out and about. The bracelet activates an alarm when pressure is applied to the bracelet, for example, when an attacker grabs the victim by the wrists- a typical area that the attacker would reach for when holding down a victim. This eliminates the need for the user to have to reach out for personal alarms, and can be activated by the user as well, if they sense trouble approaching. The name 'SOTERIA' comes from the Greek Goddess of safety and protection- an appropriate title for this concept, as it can offer a sense of security to the users, and a chance to possibly fight back.
the disPLAY unit is made of separated components to allow for the user to play with different configurations. Designed to be a modern take of an existing exhibition space, disPLAY reflects a playful and inviting nature that should be celebrated when exhibiting interactive objects.
K∆R∆MØNØ reflects a mix of modern and traditional ideals around tea drinking. Inspired by Japanese tea ceremonies, the K∆R∆MØNØ takes from this culture the organic forms and appreciation for the simple enjoyment of tea, and merges this with the "on-the-go" bevarage convenience of the western world. The directions are simple; pour tea into the top chamber, and once the tea has brewed, the user can use the key to release the tea onto the cup.
