Joy

Joy is a series of drinking glasses designed for a wide range of beverages. The series includes stemmed and stemless forms, from a shot glass of 74 mm in height to a champagne glass of 222 mm in height. Joy is made of soda glass with the automatic press method, and the single-piece press mold keeps production efficient. The form is inspired by the dried paradise palm fruit and combines natural and geometric lines. Linear engravings create a texture that is comfortable to hold. The open mouth shape also suits hot beverages.

Trustlucent

Trustlucent is a dining table designed to attach to a kitchen island or a wall. The tabletop has thin reinforced beech wood edges and a 2mm oak veneer surface that resists moisture and scratches.

Hidden connections and a U-shaped aluminium profile fixed to the floor hold the glass in place without stress. The table serves dining, study and gathering while keeping the view through a window open.

New York 60 Multispace

New York 60 Multispace is a kitchen sink that turns the area behind the faucet into an organized workspace. The Multispace system provides two zones: one for water-draining organizers and one for dishwashing essentials. A dedicated area allows a cutting board to dry. A vertical overflow system supports efficient drainage. The sink is made of composite granite through precision molding, which gives durability and resistance to scratches and heat. Slim sloping edges and a beveled rim make cleaning easier. The sink measures 580 by 530 by 200 millimeters.

Thermo Dome

Thermo Dome is a cast iron pot designed for baking, roasting and slow cooking. A thermometer is built into the lid handle, so the temperature can be read from above or through an oven door glass panel without opening the oven. The domed panoramic scale keeps the reading clear, and the pot keeps its full volume and shape. A hot safe indicator shows when the lid is too hot to touch. The pot is made from recycled iron by sand casting and CNC machining, then finished with baked enamel. A lid hanger and an integrated spoon rest are also included.
