The Cut Chair provides a stable place to sit, but creates an optical illusion that tells you otherwise.
A plate concealed by a thick carpet allows a robust cantilevered seat. Three well placed leg “stumps” and the chair looks as though it has just been magically sliced apart.

Vizio is a candle ashtray that consists of a paraffin wax body,
with the wick positioned along the perimeter of the object within the central indentation. Once started, the light takes a circular route, following the inner circumference of the candle in order to dissolve the paraffin and give the look of one who kidnapped by the enchantment of fire, stopped to observe its movement.
Inception Chair, designed by Vivian Chiu, taking the chair archetype and placing within it chairs that are progressively smaller. Each chair has hand cut grooves on the inside edges of its seat frame as well as notches in the seat back. These grooves range from 1/2” wide to 1/8” wide. The mechanism works so that the pegs fit into the grooves of the chair one size bigger and slides into place so that the horizontal edge between the chair seat and back line up. The simple mechanism allows the chairs to be taken apart and put together with ease.
Cambia is a dining table that transforms from bench, to optional workstation, to dining table but is all one piece. We started because I was a frustrated consumer who wanted a dining table that ‘folded away’ and wouldn’t take up too much space in my Manhattan apartment. I found Matt Lee, a designer/contractor and Bret Sorkness (engineer) and we created this unique piece, and now have a patent pending.
