A timeless design inspired by nature. Mantis uses materials which are 100% recyclable; copper, glass and bamboo. Its design is completely paired back and uses simple techniques to adjust orientation and height. The lamp can also switch from a standing lamp thanks to the timber and copper tripod, by disconnecting the shade to become a beautiful table lamp.

The Ladybird is a bath that doubles as a sink, which eliminates the need for a large bathroom. The bath itself is actually Japanese in style, similar to the ‘Ofuro’ tubs, in the sense that you sit in it rather than lie, and requires much less water to fill than ordinary western style bathtubs, which ironically, in such a water conscious world are getting larger.

Inspired to design the Ladybird after living and studying in Milan in a very confined apartment with four other people. I became very aware of the confines of big city living, which we take for granted in Australia. The bathroom which we shared was much too small to accommodate both a shower and a bath and I often missed the luxury of having a choice.

Concept.

The 'Thread Light' features a ready-made threaded post that can be mixed and matched with any number of shades. The thread of the post allows height and direction of the light to be adjusted with unambiguous function. It is simple in construction and can be quickly and easily assembled on site by the end user and adapted to work in any space. An additional threaded sleeve cast into the concrete base caters for two lengths of threaded rod that can be screwed in to suit.
