Fire & Ice Coffee Table
The Fire & Ice Coffee Table features an open fire set within a freestanding coffee table. On one end, a recess for your flue less EcoSmart™ Burner, on the other, a recess for storing your own patch of grass or perhaps ice to chill your favourite bottle of champagne.


Fire & Ice Coffee Table

Made of anodized aluminium with a fine linish, the EcoSmart™ Fire + Ice Coffee Table features a sliding platform which, when moved from one side to the other, either exposes the EcoSmart™ Burner or your patch of grass depending on which side the platform sits. When the platform is moved to cover the burner, the cover also serves to automatically turn the burner off.

More importantly, no installation or building works is required. Ideal for apartment owners where space is limited, and very popular with tenants who would like ambient heating that moves when they do.

Flying Hotel
Flying Hotel

Living in the sky, watching the Earth from above. Rediscovering the marvel of traveling, experiencing contemplation. Exploring the world without trace

Manned Cloud is an alternative project around leisure and travelling in all its form, economic and experimental, still with the idea of lightness, human experience and life scenarios as the guiding principles. The spiral of Archimedes is the driving force of this airship in the form of a whale that glides through the air.

Manned Cloud is a hotel with a capacity of 40 passengers and staffed with 15 persons, that on a 3-day cruise in 170 km/h permits man to explore the world without a trace: to re-experience travelling, timelessness and enhance the consciousness of the beauty of the world - and to experience spectacular and exotic places without being intrusive or exploitative. For me this project sums up a way of thinking that is the stake of tomorrow.

Yoshitomo Nara

“I want people to feel commotion beneath the surface of my pictures.” - Nara

Born in 1959 in Hirosaki, Japan, Yoshitomo Nara is one of the most influential artists to emerge from Japan during the Pop art movement of the nineties. Yoshitomo Nara's paintings and sculpture of stylized cartoon children and animals evoke a range of memories from childhood, "both sad and fantastic." Since his initial U.S. solo exhibition at Blum & Poe Gallery he has had one-man shows at the Institut fur Moderne Kunst Nurnberg, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and the Yokohama Museum of Art. His work was recently included in "Super Flat" at the MOCA Gallery at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood and at PS1 Contemporary Art Center in New York. He continues to live and work in Japan.

Yoshitomo Nara

Yoshitomo Nara's work is influenced by Japanese comic books (manga) but he is unique in the contemporary art scene here for bedeviling his typically cute and vulnerable figures with a horror like image. Nara's tapping into horror through the medium of the innocent child is particularly poignant in Japan's controlled society of rigid language and social structures, especially considering recent shockingly violent crimes in Japan involving children as the aggressors. Nara's work really instills the viewer with a juxtaposition of the innocence of children and the evil nature of humanity, or the fall from grace. Nara is also a Pop artist, representing works from his generations youth, and mass producing them for your home.

Yup, I definitely a fan of Nara works.
