The design combines Japanese spatial principles with local culture and is inspired by Osaka street food, with takoyaki as the central theme. A curved counter encourages social interaction, and wall textures add tactile detail. Suspended bamboo lighting and natural materials create an organic atmosphere. A mezzanine makes use of the high ceiling and adds functional variety. The venue serves food during the day and becomes a bar and event space at night.

Woodland Kindergarten

Liu Jinrui Kindergarten Interior Friday, 16 January 2026

Woodland

Wandering in the Woods is a kindergarten interior designed for children aged two to six. The original building had limited space and relied heavily on artificial light. For reasons of structural stability and cost, the design keeps the entire structure and inserts an atrium that runs vertically through three stories, so all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Columns become trees and beams become bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral around the columns and connect the spaces. Tree houses offer quiet areas for reading and handwork.

Nevi Kinetic Desk Lamp

Andrei Ananenka Kinetic Desk Lamp Lighting Wednesday, 14 January 2026

Nevi

Designed by Andrei LiLo, Nevi is a desk lamp built around a self centering kinetic system. Constructed from hand finished Aisi 304 stainless steel, the lamp features a spherical base and a slender vertical stem. It functions as a task light with a focused beam, while also responding to touch with a gentle oscillation that returns the object to its vertical axis. The project extends to its aluminum packaging, which is designed to transform into a secondary ambient light. Released as a numbered limited edition, Nevi explores the relationship between kinetic behavior and material presence.
