Sculptural silverware for Episode Silver, playful lifestyle products for Scoobies, and a full corporate gifting & stationery practice built for Hitaishi KK.
Three collections built around one material — mirror-polished stainless steel — pushed into vessels, bowls and light objects through cutout pattern, faceting and pure geometric form.
One form language — a cylinder, cut and faceted four ways — spun-cast in mirror-polish stainless steel: a spiral-cutout hourglass, a faceted diamond column, a perforated oval with irregular openings, and a tall pierced egg. Each variant runs 240–280mm tall on a shared production logic, so the family reads as one system rather than four unrelated vases.
A series of bowls exploring fluid form, geometric precision and the interplay of positive and negative space — a stacking wave bowl, a swan-neck handle bowl, a copper tripod bowl raised on cutout legs, and an orbiting double-ring bowl. Each piece is a study in balance: functional, sculptural and material-led.
A single geometric motif — a star-shaped cutout — explored across five forms: pyramid, tapered cone, cylinder, curved twin-cylinder and rectangle, each with a stainless-steel outer shell, a walnut-finish base and a glass insert to hold the tea light safely. While black and neutral tones are the classic expression of luxury, the curved and faceted reflecting surfaces here are what give the object its vitality — the cut-outs glow gold against the mirror finish once lit.
Three everyday-carry objects for kids, each built as a small piece of play — a stationery case shaped like a butterfly, a set of collapsible bottles styled around a hobby or character, and a rolling trolley bag with a holographic or hand-drawn print.
A hard-shell stationery case moulded into a glittered, dimensional butterfly, holding a full kit of pencils, an eraser set, a ruler and a sharpener along its interior — soft pink and blue interior colourways designed to be as much a toy as a tool.
Collapsible silicone bottles that fold flat when empty, each styled around a small character or hobby — a football, a baseball kit and an owl — with a matching carabiner clip and charm.
A rolling trolley backpack in two graphic directions — a holographic mermaid print with a sea-creature side pocket, and a hand-scrawled music/instrument print in red, white and blue on black — sharing the same telescoping handle, wheel base and dual side-pocket construction.
A product-led exploration of gifting objects, desktop tools and keepsakes for Hitaishi KK — developed through the lens of an accessory designer. A compact portfolio of corporate gifting and stationery ranges, where everyday utility becomes a tactile, collectible experience.
Understand whether the object is meant to impress, organise, celebrate or be kept.
Choose a material, finish, silhouette and detail system that can travel across products.
Design the opening, grip, storage, movement and reveal — the small moments that make a gift feel considered.
Extend the logic into complementary items so the range feels intentional rather than assorted.
The stationery work turns ordinary tools into tactile desk companions. The thinking begins with the hand, the desk surface and the pleasure of keeping useful things around.
Each collection is defined by a material and a mood, then extended across staplers, scissors, tape dispensers, calendars, scales, trays and stands. Nox and Hevea explore the warmth of natural teak and rubber wood; Equinox makes contrast visible through two-tone jointing; Willow softens the desk through pale mango wood. The function stays consistent — familiar tools, more expressive tactility.
The later stationery ranges push the same system into more sculptural territory — using geometry, repetition, organic references and mixed woods. Pebble, Geometric, Sphere and Sea Shell use recognisable forms as memory hooks: easy to understand, distinctive enough to become a signature.
The final set narrows to one idea, built as a complete gifting system: a fitted box that opens to reveal a coordinated set of desk tools, sized and lined so every piece has its own place.
The work is best understood as a system of decisions that can scale across categories.
Wood species, grain, inlay and finish establish the emotional register.
Simple geometries create a family; softened edges and proportions make objects comfortable and giftable.
Every object remains genuinely useful even as the form becomes sculptural.
Opening, holding, arranging and displaying are designed as part of the product experience.
A strong hero object is extended into complementary items to create a coherent collection.
Colour, finish and wood species flex per order, without breaking the range's identity.
Across corporate gifting and stationery, the design opportunity is not only to make a product work. It is to give the object a point of view — through material, proportion, tactility and the story it invites the user to participate in.
