Three rectangular objects that are made of strands of fibreglass now hang in the central lobby of the new building. Just like the original Bobbin Lace Lamp, they provide light without the use of bulbs. The light is produced in a hidden box and transported by the strands of fibreglass until it reaches the end of the object. In this way the entire construction of woven strands of glassfibre becomes a source of light in its own right.

The design represents a pair of 2-sided watches. One is for showing accurate time and the other side, being divided into 24 portions, is for showing the 24 hours.
When the “Day” and “Night” watches are placed together, you will see the digital screens joining together in 24 portions on the background.

“Antropomorfo Chairs” is a serie of chairs developed combining forms inspired from childrens drawings obviously out of proportions, with materials, colours and details typical from the scandnavian tradition. A childrens drawing is extremely free. Interesting it is studying and understanding this spontanious expression in a three-dimensional way, translating this language in to a furniture.
