Tap Desk is an ideal merging of classic styling and current technology. It aims to emulate the heirloom quality of the early 20th century design but with a modern twist, utilizing Arduino programming. Tap Desk is about maximizing creative energy in a space you can feel safe and relaxed. The integrated bluetooth speakers, operated by capacitive touch technology, allow you to create a sound-scape suited to your work environment. Tap Desk’s seven outlets and two USB ports provide enough space to accommodate all your devices.
Old style roll top desks were the initial jumping off point. They create a division of personal and private space. They also have the added security benefit of locking your work inside. However, these methods are dated. Locks and keys have been traded for computer passwords, files are no longer stored in drawers but on hard drives. New desk designs should reflect these features.

This lighting fixture was an exploration in converting sound into light. Pluvia is inspired by a piece of music “Weather Storm” by composer Craig Armstrong. It is an investigation into the interconnectedness of weather and city life. It shows the juxtaposition of the robust industrial city and the organic natural weather. A welcoming harmony is struck between these two forces. The warm light is inviting and subtly permeates a space. The tone is reminiscent of street lamps on a cold wet night. It shows the longevity and ruggedness of city living existing symbiotically with the exhilaration of a storm.
