East meets West

'East meets West' by Tonio de Roover is a sofa that invites people together to sit, talk or read.
In visual sense, 'East meets West' a sculptural object, an item that refers to a flying carpet that want to rise from the earth. It is reminiscent of the 'tales of a thousand and One Nights', thus heralding a connection with non-Western cultures. The simplicity of the shape and the materials used to emphasise this image.

Walden: Nils Holger Moormann

Influenced by a story from the American writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, comes a concept that revolves around the concept of a simple outdoor life.
Garden owners can use the Walden to store various tools such as shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows in this ‘wooden box’ of unusual proportions.
Alternatively, they can also decide whether to take a seat at the table in the seating cabin, or climb a ladder to the upper level where you can enjoy the view or stretch out under the sliding sunroof. You might be inspired to light a campfire in the swinging fire cauldron, with the necessary space for firewood right beside it.
As a whole ‘Walden’ offers lots of room for things we associate with ‘garden’ and ‘outdoors’ and honors them with a layout, in which they can be seen.
