Echo

Year
2025
Materials
Finnfoam, Acrylic One
Three cream ribbed vessels on a light grey studio backdrop: the tallest planted with a palm, a smaller one with a broad-leaved plant, and a third flipped to stand as a flat-topped stool.

Echo is a versatile furniture piece that functions as a coffee table or stool and, when flipped, as a planter set. As needs change, Echo adapts, offering a new purpose and a renewed life.

Designed to engage the senses, Echo explores how to bring a tactile dimension to recycled and recyclable plastic. Its form is inspired by ceramic pot throwing and derived from hand-carved patterns, each stroke crafted with careful attention to detail.
