Kuss

Kuss are sound absorption panels designed to bring calmness into homes, open offices and any other public spaces by absorbing the excessive noise. Panels are made out of ecological and non-toxic composite by using organic rich lake sediments, sapropel as a binder, mixed with natural fibres. The extraction of sapropel helps to improve the quality of freshwater resources and lake ecosystems. By using the extracted sapropel in design production, both the noisy city environment and the ecosystem of a lake are improved.

Out Of Sight

The aim of this project is geared towards the local residents of Friars Island, in Brazil, paying attention to their needs and considering the bucolic environment and lack of public resources, in order to ensure basic services to the citizens. With the support of local political movements, it is proposed the insertion of forty two containers to attend two local necessities: a dance school, which used to operate in adjacent spaces to the neighboring church, and three emergency social housings, keeping in mind the need for a quick and accessible construction inserted on the location.

Motor 1

In many appliances and tools production processes, each product requires a motor, but the time of using the product is short, resulting in a waste of resources. The motor is used as the core of a series of home appliances and power tools. The design of the motor can be quickly installed in different modules to reduce the number of motors needed for home appliances. It allows users to obtain different modules and install the motor core in various home appliance modules when required. It effectively solves the problem of overproduction to avoid waste.

Moss

The project Moss aims to restore forests that have been ravaged by forest fires through the use of a Moss Stamp and a Moss Incubation Room for cultivating moss. This innovative solution allows individuals, such as volunteers and hikers, to actively engage in environmental conservation efforts by directly participating in the process of planting moss. By simply stamping the moss, participants can contribute to the creation of a sustainable world and help restore the natural ecosystem.
