Wood Calendar by Munito

toma — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:46:43 +0000

The design studio dialogue method based on Republic of Korea designed Wood Calendar for Munito. This Wood calendar has special point to manufacture it. It is an eco-friendly upcycled product made by throwaway spruce timber. When the building is constructed in Republic of Korea, most of them use the spruce timber for making basic structure. But it is easily wasted, so we think it isn’t good for our planet. The Calendar is consist of base for days and body for numbers. The body can be changed easily once a month. When this month’s first day is Wednesday, you put the No.1 body on Wed base. You can use entire life like this.

The Morning mug was designed for the school project. Breakfast is a special part of a day for many people. If some people don’t have a solid breakfast the whole day is difficult. A lot of people can’t imagine breakfast without milk. With this mug you get the illusion of flowing milk with each breakfest. Even filling the mug up is a unique experience.

ototoast Toaster by Yaksein Eliran

toma — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:32:49 +0000

ototoast – The toaster I designed impersinates a plant growing buds with the light at early dawn. When the toasted bread is done, it jumps at an angle from the toaster’s structure that imitates a flower’s petals. The leaf, that has just sprung, symbolizes the beginning of a new day, in a place where the sun is dominant and blazing.

The portable toaster that I have designed simulates a plant sending its buds with the first morning light. When the toasted bread is ready, it pops out of the toaster in an angle. The structure of the toaster itself simulates the flower petals of the plant. The leaf that has just sprouted symbolizes the beginning of a new day, in a place where the sun is blazing and dominant. When the toaster is disconnected from its anchoring station, it can be transferred to the table and reused.

It’s an ever changing object with an innate architectural nature. A simple figure, an idea, a lamp that illuminates and inspires creativity.

Sculptural Lamps by John Procario

toma — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:32:44 +0000

These sculptural lamps creates the body of the lamps by joining two strips of ash or white oak, without using moulds that control or constrain the outcome of the shape. This process allows the wood to take its form naturally and means that no two will be the same. “The idea for the lamps began by thinking of wood as a metaphor for the body.Wood will bend comfortably to a point, then break. Just like a bone or muscle, wood has its limit.” – said designer.

Soft Shelf by Yong Ju Lee and Brian Brush

toma — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:09:43 +0000

Softshelf is inspired by the idea of creating a bookshelf that deforms the rational cellular grid in order to create a custom occupiable, differentiated, and soft space for the storage of books and other objects. It is fully customizable by manipulating five customer controls embedded in a parametric design system: overall size of the shelf, overall geometric effect of the shrinking and expanding of boxes, the strength of this geometric effect on the entire shelf system, the curvature shape of the shelf, and the stretched shape of the boxes. Softshelf takes advantage of the rigidity and fluidity of wood combined with the precision of CNC milling technology to create a monolithic and continuous form, sturdy yet geometrically complex, and ultimately innovative.
