Delta | desk organizer
Finding ourselves suddenly working from home led us to experience the home in a different way. Being focused and productive in our home-office can be a great challenge, and every small object out of place can be a distraction.
The Delta desk organizer aims to create and delimit the mental and physical spaces dedicated to our job, providing us with every comfort and helping us keep our desk tidy, thanks to many customizable features. Delta can be used as a pen container or post-it holder, cable organizer and charging station for our smartphone.
Delta is incredibly easy to make and assemble. Follow the instructions to cut out the four parts that compose it, roll the largest part upon itself and lock it with the three triangular elements. The pockets of the features will appear as if by magic.

Ipotenusa | laptop stand
What does the office of tomorrow look like? In these times of change, workspaces are gradually evolving. Every day more and more people are starting to work from their homes. Some call it smart working, and we can make it smarter, by taking care of our body and our mind! Working from home requires catering to new needs, like the need for a tidy desk, or a better posture.
Ipotenusa responds to both of them, although it can also be used in moments of relaxation. It can be placed on your desk or on your legs while sitting on a comfortable sofa to write a book or on the bed while you lie down to watch a movie.
The space inside the laptop stand is not wasted. The rectangular cardboard flaps on the surface open up to reveal a storage area: the perfect place to store the different cables and accessories that usually occupy the desk or even a private diary.
To avoid overheating your laptop and ensure better performance, the surface can easily be perforated using a sharp pencil, thus improving ventilation. The laptop stand is made out of only 5 parts that you can assemble very intuitively.
Nakagin Chirping Tower | bird capsule housing
During the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, we suddenly found ourselves shut up in our houses, far away from open spaces. The world we might have taken for granted partially disappeared and we had to create our own freedom inside our homes, making the most of our windows, courtyards, balconies and gardens. We learned to live and love these spaces, we enjoyed the sun, the wind, the cleaner air and the chirping of the birds that were much clearer in the silence.
Nakagin Chirping Tower is a capsule housing for birds, designed to reciprocate the aforementioned spaces with a small gift. Creating your bird capsule housing will give you the opportunity to incorporate the beauty of nature in your everyday life. The beauty that we no longer want to take for granted in the future, not even when we will be completely free to get "Out of the Box".
The modular tower, tribute to the iconic building in Tokyo designed to address the housing needs of commuting workers, can host several birds, guaranteeing a shelter to these delightful little guests in your garden or balcony.
You can quickly create and assemble the individual capsules and then pile one on top of the other to create compositions. You might need to be a little patient, but very soon your days will be enriched with cheerful chirping orchestras.

Empire State Beelding | bee hotel
Wild bees are important pollinators of a wide variety of fruits and wildflowers. For this reason, they play a crucial role in agricultural ecosystems. These kinds of hole-nesting bees are often in desperate search of suitable nesting sites that might be missing from our yards and balconies. The Empire State Beelding kindly provides them with a comfortable and modern nesting habitat to raise their larvae, in order to reward them for their fundamental job.
You can easily assemble this tiny architecture using your Samsung TV box, it will only take a few minutes. Use the box to build the main structure. Create as many cells as many tenants you are willing to host and compose your own facade! Would you like to host a few bees to provide them with the highest quality of life and privacy? Just create a few cells and distance them as you wish and have fun creating your composition! Do you want to host more bees? You can create up to 21 nests, it will take more time to build them but your tenants will quickly thank you for it as they ensure and improve the pollination of your plants, infusing them with all of their gratitude.

Rationalist Garden | Plant Pot
Pictures of Nature reclaiming its spaces in Italy during Quarantine travelled worldwide, proving to everyone that when human activity stops, wildlife takes little time to take back its space. The air and water became clean and the streets got covered in weeds. These images amaze us, the rationality of our busy life falters before the evidence of a nature that proceeds despite everything, faster than we ever thought possible.
The Rationalist Garden is a small domestic monument to this amazement, inspired by the Square Colosseum in the EUR district in Rome, a symbol of rationalist architecture. It can be used as a plant pot that welcomes Nature into our Homes. The Plant Pot is made out of 9 pieces and can be easily assembled. Build the base and fit a plastic bag on it to protect the cardboard, then. Then you only have to insert the big cube from above to block the envelope and fill it with the plant you prefer. The tiny windows will provide exceptional support for climbing plants!
