Domestic Islands is a set of transformative objects that work together to create an immersive interior space. The set is made up of 6 component parts that all play with the idea of a ‘staycation’, or holidaying at home, using techniques of faking, fooling and copying. The project questions the importance of authenticity in architecture, design and space and casts a shadow back on our staged reality, a construct built with fake parts. Domestic Islands is a reproduced environment, that copies the idea of ubiquitous holiday resorts the world over. By taking their clichéd imagery and amplifying it the project becomes a copy of a copy. This website then allows its visitors to download all necessary plans and models, enabling yet further reproductions with an infinite possibility of replication. BACK TO OBJECTS

The Faux Rocks are made from pre-existing plastic stones with y-shaped aluminium frames forming their internal structure. They give the user the ability to hide away ugly electronics beneath the natural veneer of stone. Available in four different sizes, they can hide anything from a wifi router to a vacuum cleaner. These rocks act as interventions in the home, bringing the outside inside. Blurring the line between technology and symbol, between what is visible and what remains unseen.
The Broken Backdrop is a printed simulacrum of a blue sky, materialized as a set of linen wall hangings. Recalling the film “The Truman Show”, this product allows the possibility of a bright summer’s day even in deepest winter by bringing a perfectly blue sky into the home. This illusion is undercut by a user-friendly slit in the sheets, allowing access to plug sockets behind, a broken dream. This piece asks you to look behind the veil, to enjoy the illusion while understanding its limits.
The Shrine Collection is a range of decorative chests made from CNC-milled MDF-boards and wood, finished with plastic foil inlays. The boxes are available in three different sizes to suitably enshrine any souvenir, safely storing a wide variety of sentimental items. By adopting the appropriative language of Orientalism, these shrines appear to embody a shallow attitude of cultural acquisition by the West. On first glance they recall ornate Eastern decorative styles but a closer inspection reveals the widely available modern materials they have been constructed from. This honesty of provenance speaks to their true purpose, a playful experiment in appropriation with an innocent spirit of openness.
Deluxe floor treatments let you spend your Sundays on the beach. Forget the dull patterns of your everyday laminate flooring. The Dune Carpet system transforms your living room and transports you to the exotic sand dunes of a tucked away beach. Dive into these plush carpets and leave your worries behind. Can’t travel this summer? Let the beach come to you instead. Use them to build a tropical archipelago or a Mediterranean cove, take your pick. The world’s your oyster with the Dune Carpet.
Have a few minutes to spare? Build a pyramid in your living room. At a loss for how to decorate? Why not have a fallen glory on your balcony, what a conversation piece. Modern Ruins takes its cue from abandoned hotel complexes and amusement parks, a post-apocalyptic Vegas or an abandoned Disneyland, copies of iconic architecture from ancient history and beyond. Made with CNC-milled foam blocks, Modern Ruins allows you to form thrones, pillars, arches or pyramids by stacking and moving these rubble-like building blocks in infinite combinations. Create a landscape all your own, the only limit is your imagination. Inspired by a nostalgic vision of childhood holiday dreams, the ruins use the iconographic language of fallen palaces but with modern imagery, carving a new kind of hieroglyphic.

This lamp captures a warm summer breeze that blows through your apartment and makes your curtains swing like on a windy, warm summer night. Its an eternal summer wind and the beauty of its motion. Backlit with a light it’s a simulation of a relaxing evening, the end of a hot day, that finally cools down.
