What do you think defines a futuristic product? Is it always technologically integrated, curved, angular, metal, plastic, or leather? I feel like one must think about the intent of the product and signify that through their design. Ocean White is a collection that showcases a range of meticulously crafted objects that embody this approach. By employing translucent materials, Ocean White has achieved a harmonious blend of comfort and beauty. With a strong focus on futurism and the essence of each product, this collection offers a glimpse into a world where functionality and aesthetics coexist seamlessly.

In Ocean White’s philosophy, the more futuristic a design is, the closer it should be to the intrinsic nature of objects. With this in mind, the fourth collection incorporates light as its medium, encouraging users to focus on the essence of each product.
