Small flat, visitors just arrived and simply too few seating options? Troublesome! Tight living space requires space-saving and expandable furniture that can be adapted to different living situations – from single to family to multi-generational households.
The “OruBench” is a changeable piece of furniture that can adapt to different usage and living situations. The bench has eight legs and a filigree structured grid-like seat. Not visible at first glance, three identical stools are integrated flush into the bench. These can be removed and expand the function from three to six seats.
The OruBench is made entirely of ash wood. The structure of the individual seats is milled out of solid wood by computer. The structure of the bench runs in the longitudinal direction and the matching counterpart of the stools in the transverse direction. When assembled, the result is an interlocking, highly aesthetic lattice structure reminiscent of delicate Japanese woodwork. The prototype has a natural wood finish, but different versions stained in bright colors are also possible.

Classic with a twist! The fashion of British designer Paul Smith catches everyone’s eye, if not at first, certainly at second glance. With his origins in English tailoring, the designer has been creating finely thought-out collections with surprising combinations and unexpected accents for more than fifty years. Paul Smith is best known for his perfectly coordinated colour combinations that come together to create the famous “signature stripes”. With the fictitious task of designing a product from a product line that does not yet exist at Paul Smith, my lounge furniture family came into being. Consisting of an armchair and a sofa, the work interprets the visual appearance of the Paul Smith brand and opens up a new perspective on a product line that is foreign to the brand.

“Mitoche” is a vase set consisting of five vases with different heights, diameters and volumes. Together they can cover the whole spectrum of bouquets and other plants from large to small. All the vases can be stored in a small space by nesting or sliding them together so that they take up little storage space when not in use.

swimfoil

With the Swimfoil, our learn-to-swim aid, a child learns to lie flat in the water right from the start. The child is “carried” by the Foil so that it can swim forward for a longer period of time without rushing and with little energy expenditure. This allows the child to concentrate on the correct arm and leg stroke while learning to swim. The change from with a foil to without a foil is not very big, because the child has already mastered the correct principle, the correct water position and the forward glide. The wing is located below the body and is firmly connected to the body by a bar and a belly section. The wing has a certain curvature and thus creates the greatest possible buoyancy at a small swimming speed.
