Amarrada a la isla de los impresionistas en Chatou, la Casa Flotante se balancea al ritmo de los remolinos del Sena.

The Eclipse Light is the simple way to make your space a little brighter. Cut, by a laser, from a single sheet of steel this lamp is then bent into shape by hand.

La Casa en Bahía de los Piratas explota las virtudes de un terreno incómodo, con dos actitudes opuestas respecto del paisaje: el gesto dramático de cara al mar y la integración casi mimética en la vegetación que la respalda.
