• Lot stool translates the concept of plainness through the simplicity of its shapes. Designed with less to enable more, the purpose of the stool is to offer an unconcerned experience of sitting, pulling off the unnecessary details to allow lots of more enjoyment simply releasing the movements. Just make yourself comfortable, sit anyway you like.


    Unpretentious, Lot is still a jolly piece of furniture which dialogues perfectly with modern spaces counting on its tubular steel structure that embraces the plywood seating, creating coloured frames that just fit with anything. The stool is certainly a smart alternative for the ones who want a practical and versatile solution. With its few components, Lot can also become modular as you are free to assemble its different options of colour to create many and many arrangements. Indeed, a simple but clever solution    .

  • The Tool House project, developed in 2013, follows the concept of genre identity respect and has as its main principle to promote the inclusion of the children into the edification process of respect to the opposite sex. Reaching against previous consignments which defy 'boy's toys' and 'girl's toys', Tool House encourages the children to live the experience of playing as they can choose what game suits them better regardless any social prescription.

    The whole project is about mixing backgrounds: Tool House is a toy organizer which its shapes evoke a little house - what it is a commonly attribution of a feminine toy - and it must be constructed by the own child, supported by its parents, with a playful tool-kit - what relates to a typically masculine play. Therefore, the mix of playing and experiences happens naturally. The same way as a girl will build her own little house with the tool-kit, the boy will also be able to play with the little house he will also have built.


    The proposal is based on the mutual respect e inclusion concept    . Tool House is a toy-furniture which educates without preaching moral and works through personal choices, allowing the child to construct its own visions and preferences, free of moorings. Besides of that, the aimed public is not only the children in the first childhood (4-7 years), but also the new generation of parents which no longer accepts genre prejudice and looks forward to raise children in a diversity based society, once it is difficult to find a pedagogical toy in these moulds.

  • Noteblocks is a project which comes upon the meaning of street art and urban intervention. Charged of ideas such as the interaction with the work of art, expand concepts and change expectations, the project assumes the premise that walls are the best platform for urban intervention, and, as the main purpose of urban intervention refers to de-construct previous conceptions, this project de-constructs the idea of wall: brick by brick, block by block.

    Totally coloured and magnetically attracted, this product re-defy the notion of post-it wall. Free to be assembled in many different ways, Noteblocks push the user into a real and dynamic experience of intervention between the order, arranges and colours, resulting in a final, but truly versatile configuration that accords just with the mood and expectations of the one who interacts with it. It is a three-dimensional translation for a post-it note.
