I designed this bag in the same way I designed everything else, so largely based on right angles, but perhaps a little more emotionally, more personally. Designing a handbag is undoubtedly different to designing a Braun stereo system, but I applied the same principles. It had to be functional, visually durable, and very aesthetic. Less, but better.

BREMEN is designed to change the way people interact with music by allowing everyday objects to become actual instruments, thus removing traditional barriers to music-making.

The apartment navigates two opposing conditions: the tranquil greenery of the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab to the south, and the bustle of a major commercial boulevard to the north.

The ballroom design features impractical elements like a stairway to nowhere and fake windows, emphasizing a focus on flashiness over functionality.

The term 'orangery' was introduced in 17th century Europe when a craze for citrus fruits swept the continent's nobility class, and many built lavish, light-filled buildings devoted to their cultivation.

Since 1918, TONI Copenhagen has balanced tradition with innovation, creating faucets that can be passed down from generation to generation.

When designing a neutral space, you might initially assume you're working with a limited color palette. And while using a select group of more subdued hues might be the key to achieving that calming effect, it doesn't mean the room has to be boring or one-dimensional.

The Finnish coastal archipelago consists of over 80,000 islands. The islands began to emerge from the sea after the ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago. Their cliffs of mostly granite and gneiss have been polished smooth by the kilometers-tall ice sheet that had been pressing them down.
