No Screw

No Screw is a luggage lock designed for efficient assembly and easy maintenance. The lock has two split parts: a lock body and an anti reverse base shell, joined without screws. The locking component slides onto the base shell for quick and secure installation, which supports automation in production. An accompanying disassembly handle separates the two parts, so maintenance needs no tools and no professional help. Over 80 percent of the lock is made from lightweight ABS, which resists impact and wear and adds little weight for travelers.

Pen

Serpentinata Benjamin

Serpentinata Benjamin is a ballpoint pen produced with 3D printing. All parts except the refill are 3D printed. The pen is transparent when new and gradually turns yellow with use, especially when exposed to sunlight. Yellowing of plastic under ultraviolet light is usually seen as a defect in industrial products, and Serpentinata Benjamin treats the change as a positive quality. Each pen develops its own color over time, in the way that musical instruments, leather goods and wooden furniture age with their owners. The pen measures 9.5 by 9.5 by 105 millimeters including the cap.

Short Film Architecture

Sunday, 23 August 2026

Terra

Terra is an animated short film in which dust, gravity and man-made ruins are the main subjects. The film runs for about five minutes, uses an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is set to the music track E2 by the band Muay. Terra is presented as a tribute to architecture, technology, science fiction cinema and music. The work was created with 3ds Max and Corona Renderer, with editing and color correction in Adobe software. Animation, camera work and lighting were made by hand, while collisions, explosions and cracks were simulated with plugins. Brutalist forms guided the visual direction.

GT Experience

GT Experience brings the thrill and tension of circuit driving into sim racing through an immersive spatial enclosure. A modular pair of large scale 3D printed side panels shapes peripheral vision to deepen focus while staying open for home play and esports venues. Its sculptural form transforms visible layer lines into premium surface language, turning a manufacturing limitation into design identity. Lightweight elastomer modules improve safety, quick assembly, transportability, and compact storage.
