trabecula (grey) this tray was inspired by the inner side and low density part of a bird bone. trabecula is very light weight, but the 3-dimensional structure makes it still extremely strong. trabecula is latin for 'small bean'. orb (white) the orb fruit tray is a structure that consist of many smaller orbital shapes that have been deformed and together creates a whole. the tray is inspired by intergallactic connectivity.

the centennial value collection

inge hulselmans — 2009/03/27

Creation of Centennial Values: items to be enjoyed for a new generation. The central theme of Tales of a Century is to create items for ushering in a new style of everyday life that can be enjoyed, cared for and passed on for generations to come. Adhering to this theme, these items are not mass-produced for mass consumption. Painstakingly created under small scale productions, these products are designed to serve their individual owners for eternity and beyond. Regardless of your sense of value and personal needs, we are confident that you will become fond of them, or can share their pleasure by offering them to your friends and loved ones. The items themselves have such superior craftsmanship and elegant design to captivate you even from a distance. Niigata, with its rich history of craftsmanship and vibrant energy, is pleased to present to the world this collection of items, designed to support as well as create a better style. Kiri box : A little box using techniques employed in Japan's traditional karakuri chests where a special mechanism causes objects to disappear and reappear. Safely stores important sake paraphernalia since only those who know the trick can open the box. You will appreciate the contrast between the traditional, simple form and the thick handmade copper handle. Traditional karakuri trick opening function requires advanced processing technology. This is our firm's speciality. mage-ki : A contemporary form has been given to traditional Japanese confectionery boxes. Two-tier, three-tier and eight-tier boxes are available for a wide range of purposes. Elegant boxes, which never look out of place, are obtained by curving a single plank of Japanese cedar and making a cut in each tier. The wood used is the kind most closely associated with Japan, Japanese cedar. We allow ourselves the luxury of using only red, straight grain wood from 300-year old trees. Virtually all processes are done by hand.

walking stick

Inge Hulselmans — 2008/12/01

the basics of this walking stick, are the problems which occur when a walking stick is hung on a counter or placed against a wall. those in need of a regular walking stick cannot manage bending down to pick it up.

this stick is made of bended wood with a rubber strip in the grip. thanks to the curve in the grip and the rubber it will hang on the table top or any other flat surface without falling. it will also lean against the wall without sliding.

een vleugje goud

Inge Hulselmans — 2008/12/01

ter gelegenheid van het 50-jarig bestaan van het mono-a bestek, ontworpen door prof. peter raacke, wordt deze klassieker onder de bestekken in verschillende uitvoeringen uitgebracht.

de basis van het bestek is titaan, een materiaal dat reeds veel gebruikt wordt in medische toepassingen, maar nog onbekend is in de wereld van het bestek. het materiaal is vederlicht en flinterdun. uitstekend dus voor diegenen die zwaar tillen aan een klassiek zilveren couvert.

ter gelegenheid van het gouden jubileum werd op het titaan een laagje goud aangebracht. zeer feestelijk dus en warm, want de gloed van goud laat niemand onbewogen. smakelijk eten.
