Aery is a compact Ultraviolet-C air disinfection system developed to help people regain confidence in social interaction in a shared space. The design maximises disinfection efficacy using a dual-stage approach. This is achieved by cleverly repurposing the wasted heat from the thermal management unit and introducing an airflow control channel to impede air velocity which increases the air’s Ultraviolet-C exposure duration during the disinfection process.
Continue readingFamous is a collection of glazed porcelain wall and floor tiles. The surface reproduces the appearance of natural stone, with a uniform small stone texture inspired by beach stones. Digital printing technology and glazed porcelain technology are used in the production of the collection. The tiles are made in gray tones to keep a natural look. Available sizes include 40 by 120 and 30 by 90 wall tiles, 60 by 60 glazed porcelain and 45 by 45 floor tiles. The rich texture adds balance and visual interest to plain interior spaces.
Continue readingVshape Mattina is a stoneware tile designed to cover a stair step with a single element. The tile emulates the look and structure of wood in a floor-board format of 30 by 120 centimeters. The curved nose is formed from one ceramic piece through a gravitational bending process during a second firing. The double firing strengthens the technical parameters, making the tile resistant to frost, slipping and cracking. The surface is textured and matte, and five color shades are offered. Vshape Mattina suits stairs, terraces, balconies and window sills, indoors and outdoors.

A bi-folding handrail and an automatic safety gate move with the folding action. Stringers and treads are cut from sustainably sourced bamboo plyboard using low waste cutting methods. Brass, aluminium and stainless steel parts support a long service life. Each unit is made to the required height and angle, so access to upper levels is gained with minimal building work.

The functions are selected by changing the placement of the unit, and all three can work together when the unit stands vertically. The hollow form is inspired by the karst caves of southwest China. A filter element removes fine airborne particles. The unit connects to the internet, so functions can be updated over time and less new hardware is needed. Airo-5G suits home, travel and office use.
Continue readingNave is a terracotta tile system combined with water flow, used to cool indoor spaces in desertic environments.
