B Fora Vase

B Fora

B Fora is a ceramic vase designed for home interiors. The form reinterprets the classic Greek amphora and adds curved surfaces and two straight handles. The proportions were studied so that the vase stays in balance after it is removed from the mould. The inside is dipped in a glossy crystalline coating that makes the vase waterproof, so liquids can be held safely. B Fora can be used to serve beverages, to hold flowers or as a decorative object. The vase is made of whiteware ceramic through the slipcasting technique.

Elytra Space Saver Coffee Table

Elytra

Elytra is designed in a way that allows the user easy access to increase the table top surface because of its non-static nature. The biomimetic, dynamic table's surfaces are split into four broad parts, including a wooden "head" and "body" as well as two glass-inlay wings that can be opened out simultaneously to expand the table's surface to store an extra few cups of tea, a planter or two, and perhaps a notebook to doodle your ideas on.

The blocks are cut in six shapes, so many combinations are possible. Selected blocks can be replaced by upholstered versions in different colors. Supports for the back and arms allow several levels of comfort.
