The top is slightly dished to focus attention towards the touch dimmer in the centre.

A Solar project that finalised last summer after a A Solar project that finalised last summer after a few years development: ‘British designer Samuel Wilkinson has unveiled a new Solar shelter project called E-cacia. The solar shelter is currently in a final development stage and will be produced in collaboration with US based solar start up Solarforma. E-cacia is a 7m wide solar shelter that has minimal ground level impact, but still able to collect large amounts of solar energy. E-cacia’s irregular nonogan form has been derived from the shape of the African Acacia tree. They have wide flat canopies with very little lower vegetation so work perfectly for shade and shelter. The power generated can either be used locally or fed back into the grid. E-cacia is a tool for placemaking that can work as a singular centre piece or in a series to create autonomous public areas. The shelter fits seamlessly into the urban environment and is perfect to create ample shaded areas for people congregate.’ - @solarformadesign

Development work for the OPEN backrest @gemlafabr Development work for the OPEN backrest @gemlafabrikersab
Original prototype (and 1:5 model) that became the Original prototype (and 1:5 model) that became the OPEN lounge chair @gemlafabrikersab. The intention was to combine craft and technology, a steambent frame with a 3d knit backrest and seat support.
Some phone photos of the PARALLEL collection as sh Some phone photos of the PARALLEL collection as shown in Milan at the start of the month - Parallel is a minimal series of furniture made from thin strips of solid Teak. The series consists of a table, bench and chair. The collection was shown for the first time as part of an exhibition called ‘Slow hand design’ at Superstudio during the Salone del mobile 2022 in Milan. The Parallel project was development on the back of a pre-pandemic Thai craft tour searching for skilled local partners. The pieces are a collaboration with local wood furniture manufacturer Deesawat, who are based just outside of Bangkok. The Teak is sourced from a local sustainable plantation and all pieces have a knockdown construction for shipping.
Various development images for the OPEN lounge cha Various development images for the OPEN lounge chair. - Starting from a simple 1:5 maquette in 2014, model on the right, to a 1:1 cardboard test to finalising the backrest curve in the Gemla factory. After completing initial 3d cad, which too much curvature to be viable, we had to simplify to make a 1:1 prototype in 2015. The prototype was shown to Gemla in 2017 to start discussions and eventually be released at the start of this month in Milan. It was has taken huge amounts of effort and emotion, over many years, so very happy to final have it released! :) - @gemlafabrikersab
Gemla OPEN lounge chair with neck pillow. Solid be Gemla OPEN lounge chair with neck pillow. Solid bent european ash treated with hardwax oil stain. White natural leather and paper twine. - Made from all natural materials, the Gemla OPEN is high back wooden lounge chair. The chair consists of two curved elements of steam bent timber pinned together by an solid wood seat frame. A sprung backrest is created from paper twine neatly weaved back and forth across the curved form. The open weave provides great support while also giving a nod to Gemla’s early history of manufacturing Tennis racquets, hence the name Gemla OPEN. - Shown with STAM side table by @sami_kallio_studio - @gemlafabrikersab
Card models + concept sketches for FLÛTE mirror @ Card models + concept sketches for FLÛTE mirror @ext_design - Often projects arrive in very different ways. Flute mirror was inspired from tests with the fluted borosilicate glass tube used in the Peacock lamp. After various attempts to get the tube to light uniformly from LED’s placed within the tube, we noticed that by placing the LED strip behind the tube and shine it through, the tube illumination is so much better. This method is perfect as provides quality light on the wall behind and soft light towards the user.
