Yin Mo Star Kui

Yin Mo Star Kui is a four piece Chinese knife set designed for home kitchens. Each blade is made of composite steel with a multilayer structure. A high carbon steel core keeps the edge sharp, while a low carbon steel surface layer resists corrosion. Hot forging at 1040 degrees Celsius and cold forging at minus 196 degrees Celsius improve strength and toughness. The forged surface is slightly rough, which reduces contact with sticky food. The handle has a concave grip area and balanced weight for comfort during long use. The black and silver finish carries a classic Taotie pattern.

Spiral of Life

In a fusion of mathematical structure and kinetic art, the Spiral of Life project presents a new direction for Kiriko glassware. This work captures the organic fluctuation of nature within a glass medium. The development originated from a collaboration between the designer and Ree, a paint dancer. By translating Fibonacci sequences into movement, Ree provided the conceptual framework for the design. Through 8 to 13 and 13 to 21 spiral ratios, the artisan connects traditional craft with biomathematics. The resulting harmony offers a rhythmic experience reflecting the natural pulse of the world.

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. A 16mm tempered glass base in the form of an inverted pyramid supports the top and lets light pass beneath. 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.
