Marble Hexagon Tile

Marble Hexagon Tile is a natural stone covering material produced in a hexagonal format. Traditionally, marble hexagon tiles are cut with waterjets, a slow and costly process. Ionic Stone developed a technique that cuts rectangular marble tiles into hexagonal shapes using traditional diamond disc cutting. The method holds high precision in dimensions and costs a fraction of waterjet cutting, so large volumes can be produced. Each hexagon side can measure from 15 to 30 centimetres. The aim was to make hexagonal marble tiles affordable.

Water Filtration Staircase

Karst

Karst, a modular staircase designed for Governors Island in New York, is like a solutional cave for people to see and hear the flowing water, with a water filtering system that brings the sensation of nature into the house, connecting the community of humans and water. Each module has a pocket for placing a bag of crushed oyster shells. The shells composed of calcium carbonate can react with acid rain to help neutralize acidified ocean by absorbing carbon dioxide. In the end, it is a filter system that can blur the boundary between humans and nature on Governors Island.

Desulfurization Module

Desulfurization Module is industrial gas treatment equipment that removes sulfur compounds from factory exhaust gases. The design turns the traditional desulfurization tower project into a modular product, combining absorption, reaction and demisting in one compact unit. Each cube shaped module is 3 meters high and 1.3 meters wide, made of 316L stainless steel with three groups of glass access doors. Several modules can be joined to suit the needs of each factory. Intelligent control saves electricity, and the small footprint reduces land use.

Hua Ping

Hua Ping is an electric heater that uses both high and low temperature graphene technology. The low temperature graphene offers therapeutic effects, while the high temperature graphene provides heat. A control panel adjusts the temperature of the upper and lower sections separately. The frame is made of aluminum alloy with a die-cast bracket and an anodized finish, which keeps the heater light and stable on the floor. The form is inspired by the traditional Chinese screen and holds an interchangeable porcelain pattern at the center. Hua Ping suits homes, hotels and public spaces.

Photovoltaic Facade Shutter
Thursday, 1 October 2026

Solarbreaker

Solarbreaker is a photovoltaic facade shutter that turns building surfaces into energy producing elements. The system is based on extruded aluminium profiles onto which solar panels are mounted. Each panel is tilted at forty five degrees for higher efficiency, and one module of one square metre can power sixteen LED bulbs. Assembly requires almost no tools, because the profiles are placed on the mounting and lock under their own weight. Cables are hidden inside the profiles. Besides facades, the same components can form fences, barriers and blinds.

Photovoltaic Metal Roof
Wednesday, 30 September 2026

Etile

Etile is a photovoltaic metal roof tile designed for use on many types of buildings. Each module is based on a traditional galvanized steel roof tile and carries five micro photovoltaic panels that generate electricity. The modules measure 1200 by 360 by 30 millimetres and are joined together like ordinary roof tiles, with cable connections hidden under the roof sheathing. The power line is connected to the building power grid. The steel panel can be separated at the end of the product life. Etile adds energy generation without changing the roof structure.
