Full Circle is a multi-user design with a sweeping form that explores the space between two common chairs. A central mane bifurcates into a sensuous back support that re-embraces the overall form and consequently generates a flow between seat and bulbous base. A new typology emerges in the round that arouses curiosities and invites multiple modes of habitation as an abstracted daybed or bench.

Ren is sculpted from a single block of White Carrara marble and utilizes a combination of cutting-edge CNC milling technologies and exquisite hand crafting techniques. It denies the distinction between tabletop and base while homogenizing each component into a species that hovers precariously, oblivious to its function. Ren varies in thickness and is marked by unexpected twists, bulges, and detailing on the underside. The design animates the stone and strikes harmonic balances throughout its luminous surface.

Tootsie is a constellation distinguished by interlocking marble tile units that are adaptable to endless possibilities upon aggregation. Each unit is comprised of four distinct tiles defined by varying gradients of grey. In this particular example, the marble is no longer a static, fixed, or permanent material installation; instead, it takes on soft and pliant characteristics typical of traditional woven rugs. As if displaced from a previous setting, it is a nomadic floor mosaic capable of constant re-installation.
