HomeBox: a smart package delivery storage system against theft and weather damageHomeBox by Seung Keun Kim

name: Homebox
designer: Seung Keun Kim

Homebox is a smart storage solution developed to address the growing issues of package theft, weather damage, and delivery mismanagement in residential settings. The project aims to merge durability, security, and connectivity into a single, unobtrusive product that integrates seamlessly with the home environment. The unit is constructed from stainless steel, ensuring strength against forced entry as well as resistance to outdoor conditions such as rain and snow. Inside, a weight sensor detects package placement and triggers communication with the companion mobile app. Users receive instant notifications and can track delivery status remotely. To provide immediate visual feedback, LED indicators are embedded on the exterior: white signals readiness, green confirms delivery, and red alerts when the box is full.

this chewing gum was made for the country that bans chewing gum 6Unthinkables! by BBH Singapore

agency: BBH Singapore
product: Unthinkables!

Chewing gum is famously banned in Singapore. To mark the nation’s 60th birthday, BBH Singapore has introduced what could be the country’s first legal chewing gum: a product called Unthinkables!. It looks, tastes, and chews like gum, but is made without a gum base — a deviously lateral solution that makes it technically legal. The project is a statement about the creative agency’s appetite for impossible ideas: those that make the unthinkable possible and tackle business problems with fame-driving solutions.

paged furniture resurrects a forgotten polish modernist classic with heritage chair collectionHeritage by Paged Furniture

name: Heritage

original design: Marian Sigmund (c.1958)

creative direction & redesign: Maja Ganszyniec Studio
manufacturer: Paged Furniture

At Salone del Mobile 2025, Paged Furniture presents Heritage, a new collection that brings a 1950s Polish design back into the contemporary conversation. Under the creative direction of designer Maja Ganszyniec, the project uncovers and reinterprets the nearly forgotten B-621 chair, originally created by modernist designer Marian Sigmund. Sigmund, a key figure in post-war Polish architecture and furniture design, worked with Paged in the late 1950s on a series of bentwood chairs destined for Western Europe and Scandinavia. Though widely distributed abroad, many of his designs faded from public memory in Poland. Now, after six decades, Paged and Ganszyniec have revived one of his most refined forms.

  • Elephant’s Hill House

    The privileged view of nature was the core starting point for this project on the mountainous region of Nova Lima, State of Minas Gerais/Brazil. An adventurer couple chose us to create this special project in such an exclusive area. At first, the site’s high declivity seemed to be a big challenge, but it was also what inspired us to come up with the implantation’s solution. Exploring its natural landscape and the Elephant’s Hill view, it was possible to set the social floor at the height limit, above the trees. The street facade turned out to be the side elevation and the main facade now faces towards the side boundary. Due to the high declivity of the area, we were able to create a 3 level house. On the ground floor: garage, laundry, and storage. On the first floor, the office was fully integrated with the living room and a guests’ ensuite. Finally, on the second floor, there’s the hosts’ ensuite, with the most privileged view of the landscape. A slight angulation to the east gave us the opportunity to have both the ensuite and the barbecue area to take advantage of the morning sun and the region’s predominant ventilation. At the same time, it helped to protect the ground floor from the sunset light using a concrete wall that blocks the sunlight inside the house. With the major orientation E-W, the house opens to the northern landscape. Extensive eaves on the north view’s perimeter protect the openings of the summer sun, at the same time as the glasses receive the necessary natural heat to naturally warm the inside during the winter.
    We requested that two trees were precisely placed by the topographer in the middle of the elevated deck that connects the house to the suspended heated pool. These also work as a natural filter to the sun’s radiation, minimizing the sun’s entry in the living room and the kitchen. The 25m pool, a client wish, is a fundamental part of the volumetric composition of the house. Sustained by two concrete columns, they elevate the pool 6m above the natural floor level, providing to whom’s inside the pool a view of the treetops and the imponent Elephant’s Hill. With the capacity to generate about 1400kW of energy per month through photovoltaic panels, the house is self-sufficiency on energy, warming the pool water and neutralizing the energy consumption from equipment and artificial lightning.
    Columns and ribbed slab represent the constructive system. The use of apparent concrete in the house’s wall, swimming pool, and slabs bring the timelessness wanted to the project.
