The Birds On Wire coat rack borrows its shape from, well, birds on a wire. Every day on his commute into New York City, the designer passes under wires filled with hundreds of birds. He sought to capture this beautiful sight in a product.

A photograph was abstracted and turned into a laser cut metal outline with hooks for coats. Birds On Wire is one part victorian silhouette, one part Flintstones flashback, and one part functional addition to any home.

 

Alfred is not an usual chair, it fits in every part of the house: in a hallway, in a bedroom, and even in a fitting room. Thanks to small details it becomes a perfect clothes hanger: the imprint/hook at the top can accommodate a belt, a tie or a scarf; the cross-bar is for hanging clothes, while the ground plane is useful for piling up magazines and books.

Aika means “time” in finnish: in fact, this smaller wall pendulum clock, that goes together with Tiuku, is a simply “perfect ” to tick your everyday time.
