Furniture
Andrea
Since 2010 I work as an in house designer for Latvian bedroom manufacturing and retail company Nakts Mēbeles. One of new designs I have been recently working on is Andrea collection with a soft and large headboard low bed. I call it “bachelor’s bed”. Nightstands and drawer chest are Italians-influenced, complemented by retro details. Aniline leather gives a soft touch and bold colors to al the furniture collection. Design development is a coo-work of me, Juris Griķis and Nakts Mēbeles manufacturing team.
Lazy
In summer 2008 with my friends from directdesign.lv we met Juris Griķis, CEO of the Latvian bedroom manufacturing and retail company Nakts Mēbeles. He introduced us with his concept of the new low bed collection. With my colleagues we completed design of the bed. I designed night stands for this collection. This collection is created from high quality materials – natural leather, solid wood and veneered laminated plywood. From 2011 it is available with golden patina finish.
Combo
Combo – mobility, work and technology
Combo is designed to enhance creative collaboration in public spaces.
Combo is a platform with attached laptop tables, movable seats and wire-free phone charging that can be used by one to four persons. This project is developed in collaboration with Finnish company PowerKiss that provides wire-free charging for mobile phones.
Today’s information society demands us an ability to adapt for rapid changes by forthcoming technologies, however successful working does not derive only on the technology. Even if the technologies facilitate the information management and flows, nothing can substitute such important elements as an understanding pair of eyes or a friendly handshake. For supporting both − the technological and the human networking − there is a need for a new type of space, a hybrid space.
Combo was my Master’s thesis work in Aalto University, furniture department. In my theoretical part of the thesis I have researched new types of working in public space as well as intelligent furniture.
