Le ngxenye ithola ugqozi ekuhlukaneni phakathi kukakhonkolo nezitshalo eziluhlaza okutholakala ezindaweni zasemadolobheni zansuku zonke. Izinto zemvelo eziphilayo ziguqulelwa olimini lokuklama lwejometri. Ubuso bakhona bukhumbuza ukhonkolo ogcwele imvula kanti izindwangu ziveza ubukhwishikhwishi nokungalingani kwezinto ezisetshenzisiwe. Imibalana empunga epholile kanye nomata wedeski ofanayo kugcizelela ukuthintana kwezingqimba nemibala. I-moss yokwenziwa exubekile ingenisa ubukhona bemvelo obuzothile kodwa obubonakalayo. Ngokulawulwa ngokucophelela kwendawo ethathwayo nokuphakama, le ngxenye izuza ukulingana ngokubonwayo endaweni ezungezile.

- Izici Ezihlukile
- Cube is a modular furniture piece that integrates seating and surface functions within a unified, sculptural form.
The texture of concrete is expressed through a curated combination of different fabrics which is achieving a solid appearance with tactile softness.
Inspired by Karesansui, faux moss representing plants is arranged in a natural and restrained yet noticeable balance. The three blocks have different aspect ratios, translating the accidental beauty found in natural concrete cracks into geometric design. The inverted trapezoidal form provides a wide, comfortable seat while minimizing floor contact, allowing the piece to harmonize with the surrounding space. - Izilinganiso Nokupakisha
- Depth 600 mm x Width 650 mm x Seat Height 370 mm

- Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza
- The internal structure is primarily made of plywood, achieving a lightweight form while maintaining the appearance of concrete. The two sofa cubes incorporate cushioning materials and soft, tactile fabrics, creating seating surfaces that visually resemble concrete yet remain comfortable and inviting.
- Inselele Yokudweba
- Determining the taper angle of the base and achieving a realistic visual balance were major challenges. Even a one degree difference in the taper significantly affected the overall impression and proportions, requiring the examination of numerous 3D models. In pursuit of realism, extensive experimentation was conducted to identify the optimal fabric combinations and paint color adjustments to express the texture of concrete.
- Ucwaningo
- In the process of translating the concept into a product, existing furniture was researched and evaluated based on real world usability. This informed a balance between visual appeal and functional comfort. From the structural framework to the upholstery, the piece was repeatedly examined and refined from a makers perspective, leading to continuous improvements throughout the production process.
- Ugqozi
- This project draws inspiration from the contrast between the inorganic, artificial concrete that fills urban environments and the greenery that sprouts powerfully from its crevices. It aims to transform the relationship between artificial outdoor elements and the modest yet vigorous vitality of the plants thriving within them into an indoor object at a scale suitable for everyday living spaces.
- Ubude Bephrojekthi
- The project started in June 2025 and finished September 2025 in Okinawa, Japan
- Ukuhamba Kokusebenza
- Of the three cubes, two function as cushioned sofas and one as a wooden table. The table can hold drinks or books, encouraging communication with others, while also allowing a single user to relax comfortably with ample space. While the concept is fully expressed when all three cubes are combined, each cube can also be used independently, allowing flexible arrangements depending on the occasion and environment.
