DISCU TABLE: A light, straight-forward table series with a flat sheet steel base. The base’s geometrical symmetry
and architecture is a new take on the principles of L-profile steel construction, providing ultra-high stability.

MINAI TWO-SEATER AND CHAIR: A new kind of seating: a miniature two-seater that is comfortable like a big sofa
but with a different look. The central aluminum bars allow different kind of shells (wood or upholstered aluminum) to be clamped in.

SINUS STORAGE SYSTEM: A modular storage system, including optional high-end drawers. Basically, there are only two
different parts, the frames are made of powder-coated steel, the boards are made of MDF and feature two slots running along
the edges where the frames fit in. One can easily build small or large storage/shelves systems of unlimited expandability
in two dimensions. It includes the option of high-end drawers which can be added or moved without changing the existing structure.

VEKTOR LIGHT: A powder-coated, steel tube standing light with two swivel points that opens up a three dimensional space
like a mathematical vector. Each tube part can be interchanged with different sized or angled parts, giving the freedom to
extend or change the form of the light in seconds. Designed for LED and Halogen bulbs.
