Constructed entirely of three individual reclaimed objects and handmade paper maché, the lamp accentuates the beauty of mundane mass-produced objects.

Contour Tray introduces a functional surface onto soft seating furniture with its shape-conforming structure. The layering of dowels and felt allows flexibility for the tray to outline any surface it rests on. Serving as a coaster and catch-all, the tray complements existing furniture while enhances the space with its simplistic sculptural form.

Set of 4 hand blown glass jars. Visible through interaction, the gradient finish delivers a shifting play between transparency and translucency. Using the same form as a canvas, the positioning of frosted gradient on each jar delivers a distinct viewing experience. A seemingly physical yet surreal set of object.

For decades, plastic has been the "skin" of our consumables, delivering what we know as modern convenience at the expense of our environment. The amount of plastic packaging equates to or results in more than the exact number of meals we consume in a day. This reality is blatant yet often overlooked compared to other large-scale sustainable initiatives. 

The "Bread/Butter" lamp exemplifies the ubiquitous use of plastic packaging, specifically the LDPE bread bags. Illuminated by the light, the laminated graphics create intricate visual effects that reflect the conflicted relationship between plastic and the modern consumer. The relationship is then further amplified through the contrast of traditional paper's lantern form and the artificial vivid color of the bread bags.

“The Disposable” is a material play on throwaway culture and convenience-based consumption. The handmade slip-cast ceramics are replicas of well-known mass-produced plastic packaging, including Solo Cups Nongshim instant noodles and Nishiki microwavable rice.
