Trenta is an armchair with an adjustable backrest. A metal mechanism at the rear sets three reclining angles, so the seat suits conversation or rest. The base is made of stained Tauri wood from reforestation, and the inner shell uses anatomical plywood. The wooden parts are shaped by high-precision CNC machining, while the natural leather upholstery is made by hand. Metal parts receive an electrostatic coating. Continuous curved lines and smooth transitions give the armchair a sculptural form. A matching ottoman completes the set.

Balanco

Balanco is a modular sofa designed for contemporary interiors. The name refers to the cantilever, the structural principle used to reduce the perceived weight of the piece. Balanco combines a suspended upholstered base, a solid wood backrest and an integrated natural stone side table on a metal support. Visible support points are minimized, so the large volume appears light. Solid wood, brass, stone, linen, leather and velvet create a contrast between material density and visual lightness. The total length is 3500 mm.

Upcycled Echo

Upcycled Echo is a series of ceramic smart speakers made from discarded ceramic decals. In Jingdezhen, about 5 percent of ceramic decals are discarded each year. These reclaimed decals are cut, recombined and collaged onto durable porcelain shells, then fired with high precision to protect the surface. Integrated high-fidelity components provide balanced sound, and the speakers connect to smartphones for music playback and voice interaction. The design reduces industrial waste and links ceramic tradition with modern audio technology.
