think again. is a series of tableware designed to ask questions. Not interfering with the eating routine, each tableware provides a visual stimulant at the end of the meal, prompting users to rethink their eating habits.

the shy lamp

The lamp that is shy will dim when you are near; or perhaps it would dim when you aren’t here? the shy lamp is a mellow companion that sits atop of your desk or any flat surface. Incorporating Arduino and sensors, it allows the lamp to have a reaction according to the user’s distance from it. The lamp was created with the theme of ‘objects with personalities’.

MOLLY

MOLLY is a kid’s kit with attachable and detachable components that engage with negative spaces. Add-ons such as rocking legs and wheels inject mobility into the otherwise stationary stool. MOLLY strives to encourage imagination, discovery and group play in the assembly process. It can be a toy, a furniture or a friend - MOLLY can be what you want it to be.
