I design interiors that respond to the people who inhabit them.
Each project is a search for balance between function
and emotion, precision and atmosphere.
Drawing from my experience in hospitality,
retail and residential design,
I study how people interact
with space, translating their movements
and habits
into environments that feel coherent, comfortable and alive.

B16
Lighting Collection
type: academic/ contest
use: product design
role:
concept development, design, material research, visualization
scope:
product concept, 3D modeling, material and light study, rendering
year:2022
Designed for Karman Italia as part of an academic lighting contest proposal, the B16 collection explores the relationship between geometry, balance and light, reinterpreting the shape of a traditional Chinese dumpling steamer into a modular lighting system made of stacked ceramic elements enclosing a diffused light source.
A family of sculptural yet functional lamps that embody purity, proportion and material calm across pendant and table versions.
The lamps are crafted in matte ceramic and paired with a frosted glass diffuser, creating a dialogue between solidity and lightness, structure and emotion. The gentle glow enhances the texture of the materials, giving each piece a quiet, sculptural presence that transforms the surrounding atmosphere.
