The Boundary pendant lights come in two different shapes, Boundary 120
is a spot light, and Boundary 300 is both a spot and ambient light. Made
from powder-coated spun aluminium, each light has two parts that are
joined with small stainless steel fixings. The internal spun section in
both lights is finished in pebble grey and has a gentle inward curve at
each end. Boundary 120 has a slim outer shade, whilst Boundary 300 has a
wide shade, both are finished in white. The Boundary lights are simple,
restrained and effortlessly graceful. Lights hang on NUD coloured
cable. Spinnings made in Yorkshire, UK.

In the Quechua language of Peru Pakta means “union”; in this case the
union of two cultures and their respective cuisines . The interior
design created by El Equipo Creativo emerges from this same idea,
considering that Japanese cuisine is the basis of the nikkei gastronomy
but wrapped in Peruvian tastes, colours, traditions and ingredients.
With this in mind, the basic elements of the restaurant such as the
bars, the kitchen and the furniture are designed with a clear reference
to the architecture of the traditional Japanese taverns.
An explosion of colours evocative of Peru envelopes the space. This
chromatic “second skin” is achieved by use of a direct reference to the
Peruvian loom, offering a surprising combination of colours which
contrast with the austere Japanese design, and underlining the
deep-rootedness of this artefact in Peruvian arts and crafts. However,
the re-interpretation of the Peruvian loom goes further, sequencing its
own elaboration process on the walls of Pakta, transforming this flat
surface to offer a tridimensional character to the space, adding
vitality and movement and blurring the limits which mark the locale.
The traditional Peruvian weaving looms are wooden mechanisms where
colored threads intertwine in various directions, forming a suggestive
tridimensional space which generates an attractive atmosphere
transformed and reinterpreted in Pakta...

When I visited Jeju Island for the first time, I was so much inspired
by this dark, porous volcanic rock and wanted to translate its soft and
round touch into architecture. As the result, the entire house emerged
as a round black stone. From distance, the house appears like a single
pebble and when you are close, you notice that many parts of the house
are of the black stone.
The stone eaves should be the principal detail for this house. Our
intention was the light to come through the black pebbles. Light
highlights the texture of the stone, and the ambiguous roof edge can
connect the roof with the ground. The detail, placing the black stone on
a steel mesh, enabled us to realize such vague and subtle edge. What
determines the landscape of Jeju is this blackness and porousness. So we
sublimated its feel in a scale of a house...

Mass Coat Stand and Book Stand are two huge chunks of heavyweight,
metallic minimalism. These two pieces of over scaled furniture are
brass-clad which will gradually build a natural patina over time like a
prized bronze statue.
