Both the Brick Desktop Hard Drive and the Gold Hard Drive were designed during my internship at Ora-ïto in Paris in 2004.
The concepts were by ïto, I provided the first visuals and the initial technical development.

Le Rendez-vous Toyota, situated at 79 Champs-Elysées, offers visitors the experience of the Toyota Brand in all its facets. It’s not a commercial showroom, but a place where people can learn more about the diversity and innovations of the brand.
The general lines and spaces are from the hand of Ora-ïto, while I occupied myself with all the displays, furniture and point of sale elements. Most elements were done in Corian® from DuPont.

A100% Architecten commissioned me with making 3d pre-visualisations for their design proposal of a hotel situated in Genk, Belgium.
Instead of making it as realistic as possible I chose to render the 3D files in such a way it looked like a traditional paper maquette, which was later photographed in a studio.

With these bar displays I wanted to make a link to the rich and beautiful history that Martini has in Europe. Hence my decision to use linestra tubelamps, which refer to European modernism and Bauhaus.
One display has an array of five linestras inside. The other display only has two, positioned at the top and bottom to light up the Martini graphic.

Also made at the time I was working at Puresang. Martini is always in need of positioning itself in more creative ways. This lounge table is an excerpt of an entire lounge seating family which can be used as style corners for all kind of events.
