Comfort Cloud Lamp is not an ordinary lamp, it’s a specially designed lamp for your kitchen. Nowadays, most people prefer to have open kitchen design to keep everyone in touch without the limit of any walls. However, this also means that cooking fumes would affect everyone near the kitchen, which you probably already know that these fumes are not healthy. Comfort Cloud Lamp has been designed to remove these fumes as well as purify the air automatically.
Traditional kitchen ventilation system doesn’t solve the fundamental problem because it only moves those fumes from indoor to outdoor, those fumes still pollutes the air. Comfort Cloud Lamp works by detecting fumes, it then opens the suction tank to collect those fumes into the cooling tank to be purified. The fresh air is then discharged from the top of the lamp.
The characters of my works live in existential situations, particular thoughts, within the game of images.
Themes of my works belong to wide specter - from love to dialogs about politics and religion, social institutions etc.
Essenz is a concept proposal for Schaeffler, it’s a pedelec for urban environment. Urban areas are dealing with traffic congestion daily, the roads just can’t cope with increased volume of traffic. Due to this problem, cities are actively finding alternative mobility solutions in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Copenhagen is one of metropolises that can use this concept pedelec, it already started building bicycle highways to support this megatrend, yes, highways for bike.
Essenz is perfect for everyday use, in all weathers thanks to its protection hood. The articulated steering design allows you to drive pretty fast while cruising urban jungle, it offers a unique carving experience for the rider. The acrylic hood keeps you dry at all weather conditions but it won’t fully enclose you to maintain the feeling of riding a bike.
Designers : Alexander Knorr and Florian Blamberger
We think Nissan wants to blur the line between driving and gliding with Nissan BladeGlider. It’s a futuristic 3-seater concept electric car that turns the engineering paradigm to a new dimension, making driving so much fun and exciting. This project is more than just a concept, it’s a design proposal for future direction of Nissan EV by exploring prototype of an upcoming production vehicle from world’s leading EV manufacturer. Keeping “form follows function” principle in mind, BladeGlider has been designed with unique architecture to provide the driver and passengers sustainable exhilaration, a new EV based on peerless technology and exotic styling.
Nissan BladeGlider offers you more than just power and acceleration, it sends your heart soaring into the world of “gliding” pleasure. Through this project, Nissan aims to become a pioneer from anything yet envisioned for EVs, Nissan wants to rule the roads of the not-so-distant future.

Led by Francois Bancon, this project goal was to revolutionize the architecture of a car to provoke new emotions, creating new value for consumers how Zero Emissions can redefine our conception of vehicle basics. The body design with narrow front track challenges the orthodoxy that’s been dominated the roads since the early days of internal combustion engine. It opens new possibilities to designers and engineers to create unique characteristics of EVs. BladeGlider offers two aerial images: soaring and silent, it offers panoramic freedom of a glider thanks to its triangular shape of a high performance swept wing aircraft.
Nissan BladeGlider is powered by Nissan’s innovative lithium-ion battery technology which already proven in Nissan LEAF. For better stability and handling, these battery modules are mounted low toward the rear.
