The studio works in a wide variety of design fields with work that is mostly driven by investigation in the deeper meaning of creation through the language of geometry.

The design of the Kontrapunkt armchair and chaise lounge transformer explores the possibility of creating an alternative to the standard bulky recliner armchair typology. The goal was to integrate the armchair and chaise lounge into one compact visually light object. This was achieved by using the armrests as part of an innovative mechanism that holds the leg pad extension and tilts the backrest into the proper position.
