Rover is a collection of mobile storage units devised to address individual and collective storage needs in the mobile workplace. Available in four different sizes, Rover is designed to store everything from standard-sized binders, paper, and personal items, to laptops and projectors. The taller units can be used as catering carts or projector carts as the top is inset into the wrap-around handle so that objects cannot slide off when being moved. All units feature locking wheels and locking aluminum tambour doors which provide full access from all sides.

Product design for Umbra, the worldwide leader in casual, contemporary, affordable design for the home.
TagIt is a fun reinterpretation of the ubiquitous and mundane luggage tag, consisting of a flexible rubber shell and an unbreakable transparent insert which “peel” apart to reveal the address card. The action of “peeling” is highly intuitive and eliminates the need for complicated clasps and snaps. If desired, the address card can be reversed for privacy and an additional address card is included for frequent travelers. The tag's teardrop-shaped form was inspired by hanging fruit such as pears and avocados. TagIt attaches via a secure steel cable loop, and is available in high-visibility pink and vivid red for speedy identification of luggage.

Comprehensive brand identity – including logotype, stationary, menu layouts, staff apparel, food packaging, signage, identity standards and website for Boqueria, New York City’s acclaimed tapas bar and restaurant.
Inspired by the bold populist graphics of the Second Spanish Republic of the 1930’s, Boqueria’s identity combines a solid modern aesthetic with a no-nonsense authenticity. The logotype consists of a custom-drawn display font, which appears “sideways” (rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise), thus creating a distinctive and highly memorable brandprint.
The dual colour scheme echoes much of the interior palette: Orange-yellow and dark brown are used for all non-print applications, whereas all printed materials consist of dark brown on uncoated off-white paper. In-house food packaging consists of custom-labeled geometric glass bottles and jars with cork and metal closures. Boqueria’s brand identity was designed to be fully scalable and was successfully extended to all its locations until it was redesigned in 2016.

Product design for Offecct, a leading Swedish brand of design furniture for offices and public spaces worldwide.
Soundsticks offer a novel way to divide space while reducing ambient noise in public spaces or open plan workspaces. Available in linear, radial, and clustered configurations, Soundsticks are a modular ceiling-mounted solution that can be hung at any height to complement seating areas or tables of variable heights. The linear and radial configurations are suspended from extruded aluminum tracks which can be combined in many different ways to create "rooms within rooms" thereby offering maximum planning flexibility for architects or interior designers. Collaborative meeting spaces, waiting areas, or private work-study spots are just some of the spaces that can easily be created with Soundsticks.
Each stick consists of upcycled material left over from Offecct's furniture production, making Soundsticks an exceptionally sustainable and 'wasteless' product. The structure consists of sound-absorbing acoustic felt molded into the shape of a tube which is held together by a fabric cover. The fabric covers are made from upholstery scraps which are collected during Offecct's upholstery production, resulting in a random palette of colours. End caps are die cast in recycled aluminum and are completely reusable and recyclable. As no glue is required for assembly, Soundsticks can be completely recovered in Offecct's LifeCircle program.

Brand identity and marketing collateral for Aragona Group, a New York-based advisory firm that specializes in design-build, project management, and real estate development.
With a client portfolio consisting primarily of Italian luxury brands, Aragona Group needed to be positioned in an elegant and professional manner. A bold logotype was created based on the visual rhythm of the three A’s in Aragona and combined with a marine colour scheme resulting in a subtle, yet distinctive identity. The capabilities brochure for Aragona Group incorporates the modified letter A from the logo as a stand-alone graphical element, tying together the brand in a visually consistent manner.

Product design and development for Peter Pepper Products, a leading manufacturer of furniture and accessories for contract and commercial interiors.
Forty5 tables are characterized by a distinctive 45-degree edge that allows for the veneered table top to be inset and flush within the steel frame. This detail reduces the sharp table edge resulting in a more comfortable engagement with the table while the inset top acts like a wedge (or a keystone) helping to stabilize the structure and assembly of the table. The resulting hole at the corners of the table top is left open and is intended to be used as a passage for cables.
The table frame / legs are connected at the four corners of the table resulting in an open and airy design with greater comfort while sitting and allowing for optimal chair positioning. Forty5 can be realized in almost any square or rectangular size in a variety of configurations – ranging from meeting tables to individual workstations or shared desking. Perfect for startups, co-working spaces, or academic environments, Forty5 presents a complete out-of-the-box solution for today’s “light office.”

Product design for New York City’s Department of Transportation. Designed in collaboration with Jeff Miller, CityRack was a finalist in the international bicycle rack competition for the City of New York.
The proposed design consists of a one-piece cast iron frame with a brightly coloured plastic bumper that prevents bicycles from being damaged or scratched when locked up. Cast iron complements the urban aesthetic and architectural heritage of New York City while providing maximum security, as the ductile iron frame cannot be cut or broken. The frame is cast in 100% recycled iron while the plastic bumper is designed to be molded in upcycled polyethylene diverted from New York City’s waste stream.
CityRack’s iconic diamond shape is easy for bikers to spot and allows for multiple locking possibilities, accommodating seats, pedals, kickstands, and handlebars. The tall neck reduces the likelihood that bike locks can be pried open against the pavement, which is a common tactic used by bike thieves. Though wider than the commonly used inverted-U rack, CityRack takes up very little space on already crowded city sidewalks.

Mobi is an innovative mobile workstation that allows the user to redefine their workspace on demand. Developed specifically for today's flexible work environments, Mobi consists of a worksurface and a sound-absorbing partition on locking wheels, that can be easily moved and intuitively reconfigured by one person.
Combining two or more units can create a variety of ever-changing configurations, from collaborative team-based arrangements to individual workstations. However, unlike traditional partition-based systems, Mobi can be rapidly assembled on-site and does not require a costly installer or any special tools. The full-sized worksurface can accommodate multiple people for impromptu meetings and Mobi can adapt to any space or capacity requirement by simply adding or removing units.

A unique collection of planters with matching trash receptacle created specifically for corporate, healthcare, hospitality and educational environments. Molded in impact-resistant fibreglass, Tria can be used indoors or outdoors and can be clustered together to define or separate common areas. Tria's tapered triangular profile adds structural integrity to the containers and makes them ideally suited for corner placement. The matching Tria receptacle was designed to complement the planters and features an integrated bag retaining ring, whereby the bag is hidden inside the receptacle, thus eliminating any 'skirting' of the bag.

Product design for iconic Italian crystal brand Arnolfo di Cambio.
Discus is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional caviar dish. The two-part design consists of a base and a cover in pressed crystal with an angled edge profile that prevents the cover from slipping off the ice-filled base. The angled edge also ensures that the cover is always perfectly centered on the base. The caviar is presented in the cavity of the cover, where the crystal is as thin as possible to keep the caviar optimally cooled. Two cutout details in the base ensure that the cover can be easily lifted.

Zuma is a portable privacy screen that can easily be repositioned by one person and quickly stored when not needed. Perfect for open plan workspaces, conference centers, or universities, Zuma consists of a low-profile steel base and a removable screen that slots onto the base. The steel base plate is designed to stack when stored and its shape allows for arrangements of multiple screens. The low-profile base also allows the screen to be placed next to sofas or ottomans to create privacy for meetings. The fabric-covered screen consists of a lightweight frame with sound-absorbing filling. Zuma is inspired by how surfboards are carried underarm and stored vertically in the sand.

Brand identity and comprehensive creative direction – including logotype and stationary, marketing materials and printed flyers, CD packaging, identity standards and website for Cielo, New York City’s legendary dance music venue.
Deliberately positioned as a lifestyle brand instead of a conventional nightclub, Cielo’s identity projects a positive, fun, and all-inclusive ‘look and feel’ which is designed to appeal to everyone from the experienced clubber to the occasional guest. Cielo’s logo is derived from an oval shape and exudes a friendly pop sensibility vaguely reminiscent of Frankfurter – the classic 70's typeface.
This oval shape, together with the iconic star symbol, are used as recurrent design elements throughout the identity and all printed materials. Cielo’s colour scheme consists of a dark blue-grey (representative of night) with a bright yellow-green which adds a touch of underground edginess.

Kona introduces a distinctive new language into the landscape of site furnishings, suggestive of geographic features such as volcano cones. Designed for indoor / outdoor use, Kona receptacles and matching planters are characterized by a subtly tapered steel body that sits on a rotationally molded plastic base. Both base and body are easy to clean, 100% recyclable, and resistant to moisture, UV light and temperature changes. Kona planters are available in two heights with low-profile swivel casters making them easier to move around when potted.

Comprehensive brand identity, including strategy and positioning, for Organique Hair & Body, a New York City salon specializing in all-natural treatments.
As a new brand in a highly competitive market, Organique needed to differentiate itself from larger franchise salons and single location sole-proprietor salons. The solution was to go big and bold, with the custom-drawn logotype always rendered as large as possible and complemented by carefully curated photography: The result is a striking identity that is instantly recognizable and memorable.
The "rounded and grounded" logotype anchors the brand, giving it a soft yet solid feel. This is achieved in part by inverting and rotating the lowercase q to eliminate the descender and visually ground the logo along the baseline.
Splitting the logo vertically at the letter n also allows for a larger logo that appears to wrap around printed materials: This treatment is especially effective on double-sided collateral, where the logo is intentionally placed off-centre and bleeds off the right edge, instinctively prompting the reader to turn the item over to read the other side.

Product design and development, and packaging design for Los Angeles-based architectural hardware manufacturer Mockett & Co.
Sombrero is a patented cable management solution. Designed to be mounted to the underside of any tabletop, the sombrero-shaped spool reins in unruly cable by winding it around its core and firmly anchoring the exiting cable into any of the three V-shaped notches: This prevents the cables from accidentally dislodging or unwinding.
Injection molded in a semi-flexible elastomer, Sombrero accommodates most cable diameters, from smaller data cables to larger power cords. Sombrero is easily installed using only a screwdriver and can also be mounted vertically onto a wall or the back of a cabinet. The packaging utilizes a minimum of paperboard and wraps around the product, capturing the mounting screw inside the Sombrero.

Iconic Italian crystal brand Arnolfo di Cambio celebrated its 60th anniversary with a retrospective exhibition in 2023 at the Maison & Objet fair in Paris. To mark the occasion, a comprehensive branding and communication campaign was devised around the theme of Sixty Years of Design in Crystal. The objective was to increase the brand's visibility by celebrating Arnolfo's rich and historic heritage of design while reintroducing the brand to a new audience.
Arnolfo di Cambio’s original mark from the 1960’s was transformed into a new celebratory mark, conceptually tying its past to the present. The numbers 6 and 0 were derived from the original mark and offset, with the 0 lower than the 6 and bleeding off the bottom edge of the page or screen: This effect is both distinctive and memorable. This celebratory mark was then applied to the exhibition graphics, posters, brochures, and tote bags, becoming a visual anchor for the campaign.
The branding and communication campaign provided maximum visibility and exposure to the brand — both in print and online. Tote bags were spotted everywhere in Paris and the exhibition was viewed by more than 20,000 visitors over a five day period.

Pickup is a portable and stackable small table designed specifically to complement seating situations where a multipurpose work surface is needed. Pickup is the perfect complement for informal meetings, collaborative brainstorming sessions, or as an individual work table. The unique design can be stacked for easy storage, and five tables can be arranged in a circle to create a single round table. The cutout detail in the top acts as a carrying handle and can also be used for wire management.

Remix receptacles are designed for multi-stream recycling and waste management in conference and training rooms, offices, kitchens, or break rooms. Available with a variety of lid configurations, Remix can be mixed and matched to accommodate any volume and type of waste and its slim profile is ideal for narrow hallways or high-traffic areas. Unlike other recycling receptacles, Remix ships flat-pack and can be easily assembled on site, considerably reducing its shipping volume. Remix features a locking door which conveniently eliminates the need to lift heavy bags or liners when emptying the bins, and its steel frame is clad in an exterior-grade aluminum composite material making it highly resistant to denting and easy to clean.

Tempo is a multistool – a multifunctional seating solution combining an upholstered stool with a side table into one compact footprint.
Tempo addresses the need for informal, transitional seating in public spaces – where people transiting from one fixed or formal situation to another can sit and have a short break, take notes, type an email, or have an impromptu meeting. Tempo allows for a variety of sitting positions and depending on one’s orientation, the integrated side table can be used either as a laptop perch or as a tablet for writing. Intended primarily for meeting areas, libraries, corporate lobbies, or public atriums, Tempo can also be used in retail or hospitality environments.
