Glassy Library

Glass Library is a lighting scheme for a library set inside a three-level split glass building. The ambient lighting is kept soft and even, so reading stays comfortable as daylight changes. Concealed LED strips inside suspended steel rods create a flowing halo. Recessed floor uplights emphasize the column and the feature wall, while custom recessed accent lights highlight the artifacts. A photo sensor near the glass curtain walls balances interior light levels during the day, as no dimming system could be used.

XJC-C030

Cordless Cleaner C030 is a cordless vacuum cleaner intended for use in living spaces. The design is approached as a tool that adds colour to daily life rather than as an appliance defined only by specifications.

The handle is made of aluminium and the stand of steel, and a compact high performance DC motor is used. The complete cleaner weighs 1.25 kg and is well balanced, so handling is easy. One button on the grip selects low, medium and high power.
