QUARTZ PLANTERS.
Sculptural cast-concrete planters. The tallest version of these is 45 inches (about 110 centimeters) high, an impressive presence even without plants. These will look spectacular used to display a bunch of tall dry grasses or branches, outdoors or in.

150ML.
150ml is a set of five porcelain vessels originally cast by five different types of wood. each vessel comes with its own box (made out of the same wood used for the original casting) and is designed to hold a capacity of 150ml, despite the difference in scale between the pieces. the idea behind the project is to ‘investigate how the true volume of objects can be disguised by labels or different shapes and sizes”.
LUNCHBOX LABORATORY.
Currently scientists are using algae to produce hydrogen and have discovered that it is a viable renewable energy form, in thatalgae is everywhere and it could also be used to produce biodeisel. One of the main hurdles for the research is to find the most productive strains of algae. Since there are potentially millions of strains, this task is monumental. Lunchbox Laboratory is a prototype for a potentially distributed research tool that would be sent to schools such that young scientists could do primary screening of a collection of algae strains.
