Objects Lab
We design objects that inspire creativity.
We experiment with natural wood, form, movement and modular structures. We create concepts for objects that can be arranged, rebuilt, explored and used in many ways.
Two collections. Six original concepts. The next step is to build and test physical prototypes.

MODULAR & PLAY
Objects to arrange, change and explore. These are design directions; the dimensions, materials and connections shown on the boards are proposals to be verified during prototyping.
NEXT MODULAR WAVE
PROTOTYPE 001 — CONCEPT STAGE
A modular picture that changes with you.
An original concept for a wooden picture made of interchangeable elements with different patterns and textures. The design explores rotating modules, swapping their positions and creating your own compositions.
We are considering both a stand and a wall-mounted version. The base, connections and mounting method will be refined during prototyping.
- Interchangeable elements and different relief patterns.
- Rotate and rearrange the modules.
- Stand and wall-mounted versions under consideration.
- A concept for a packaged set.
One idea. Many compositions.

NEXT BALANCE
PROTOTYPE 002 — CONCEPT STAGE
Play. Sculpture. Balance.
A concept for a creative wooden set of different geometric shapes. Stacking the forms is intended to encourage experiments with the centre of gravity and original compositions.
The idea brings together play, relaxation, design and interior decoration. The final shapes and behaviour of the elements will be tested with a physical prototype.
- Geometric elements for open-ended arrangements.
- Different spatial compositions.
- Experiments with balance and form.
- A proposed set and packaging.
A form you arrange your own way.

NEXT GRAVITY
PROTOTYPE 003 — CONCEPT STAGE
Movement. Structure. Creativity.
A concept for a modular wooden marble run for building different tracks and structures. The design considers ramps, turns, spirals, supports and connectors.
We want the layout to be rebuilt while observing the movement of the marbles. Connections, stability and track performance need testing during prototyping.
- Different track layouts and levels.
- Concept ramps, curves, spirals and supports.
- Connect and rebuild structures.
- A proposed packaged set.
From your first track to your own structure.

PERCEPTION LIGHT
Light. Form. Perception.
We experiment with wood, geometry and light. We design lamps intended to illuminate interiors while creating compositions of shadows, shapes and atmosphere. Each project explores the meeting of natural materials, function and art.
CONCEPT PROTOTYPES 004–006
NEXT SPIRAL · concept visualisation
NEXT SPIRAL
PROTOTYPE 004 — CONCEPT STAGE
Light. Movement. Emotion.
A sculptural form inspired by movement. Wooden elements create a spiral through which light passes layer by layer, shaping the atmosphere.
The concept uses repeated curved elements around an LED light source. We want to experiment with their arrangement and the spread of light. Structure, connections and performance will be tested during prototyping.
- Wood and repeated curved elements.
- A spiral spatial form.
- Possible arrangements of light and shade.
- A concept for the set, assembly and packaging.
The spiral, its elements and proposed settings.

NEXT GEOMETRY
PROTOTYPE 005 — CONCEPT STAGE
Light. Pattern. Character.
A geometric structure that turns light into a spatial pattern. Natural wood and precise forms create a lamp with a sculptural character.
The pendant lamp concept uses openwork wooden panels joined into a three-dimensional form. Different panel compositions and visual variants are under consideration. Light effects, connections and suspension need testing during prototyping.
- Wooden panels in geometric forms.
- A concept for a three-dimensional pendant lamp.
- Experiments with panel arrangements and shadows.
- Proposals for connections, assembly and packaging.
Panel geometry and light in an interior.

NEXT NATURE
PROTOTYPE 006 — CONCEPT STAGE
Inspired by nature. Light. Calm. Harmony.
Nature expressed through light. Wooden leaves and organic lines create an atmospheric object combining a lamp with a decorative sculpture.
The concept draws on trees, branches and leaves. Decorative elements are intended to form a composition around a light source. Different leaf arrangements and wood finishes are proposed; the base, connections and structure will be refined during prototyping.
- Organic forms inspired by trees and leaves.
- Wooden elements and a decorative engraving concept.
- Possible leaf arrangements and visual variants.
- A proposed base, branches and packaged set.
Leaves, details and a structural concept.
