Kopje Exploded View
The image shows a close-up, detailed view of the tops of two identical lanterns side by side. One lantern displays the front, and the other shows the back. This shot highlights the aluminum handle in both positions: on one lantern, the handle is raised upright, while on the other, it is folded down against the top. The lanterns’ tops are made of smooth, dark aluminum with clean, modern lines, giving a sense of the lantern's thoughtful, practical design from both angles.

This image shows a pair of modern, minimalist alarm clocks called "Sentra Alarm Clock", designed to resemble old CCTV cameras. Both clocks have a sleek, industrial look, made of a combination of folded sheet metal and injection-molded plastic. One clock is facing forward, displaying a digital time of 12:30 AM in a cool, blue LED font on a black screen. The other clock is turned around, revealing the back, which features a small speaker grille, control buttons, a USB charging port, and a black power cable plugged in. The design is clean and geometric, with a rectangular body mounted on a flat, upright metal stand that has a wide, stable base. The clocks also feature red dials and buttons on top, adding a pop of color and a bit of retro-futuristic character to the otherwise silver and black aesthetic.

The image shows a compact, rectangular speaker with a minimalist, industrial appearance. The speaker is made of brushed aluminum panels, giving it a sleek, metallic finish. The front face of the speaker features a perforated panel with a grid of evenly spaced round holes, allowing sound to pass through while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. The speaker’s body is assembled using small, visible screws on the side panels, emphasizing its modular, easy-to-disassemble design. The overall shape is a simple, upright box with flat surfaces and sharp, clean edges. It has a sturdy, functional look, reflecting a design philosophy focused on durability, simplicity, and repairability. The background is plain and light grey, keeping the focus entirely on the speaker.

A low, minimalist lounge chair made of light pine wood and aluminum. The base is formed by four overlapping wooden pieces. A light gray cushion sits on top, with the backrest propped up at an angle. The adjustment mechanism is visible: a large hinge connects the backrest to the frame, and a metal T-bar fits into semi-circular notches along the back legs to hold different reclining positions. The chair is placed against a plain, light background.

Vila Lounge Chair Materials: Aluminum, Pine Wood Designed for a floating Swedish sauna, Vila is a lounge chair that reflects the calm, honest spirit of Scandinavian design. Its name, taken from the Swedish word for rest, speaks to its purpose — offering a place to pause, recline, and unwind in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The chair’s base is made from four overlapping pine wood pieces, a quiet reference to traditional Scandinavian woodworking, reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility. Its folding mechanism is intentionally left visible: large exposed hinges and semi-circular cutouts along the back legs, where a sturdy T-bar rests in various positions to adjust for comfort.
The image shows a small, modern wooden sauna structure floating on a calm body of water, surrounded by forested hills and scattered islands in the distance. The sauna is built on a rectangular floating platform. Its exterior is clad in dark wooden planks, with a slightly angled roof that extends outward, providing some shade to the open deck area in front. On the deck, there are two minimalist lounge chairs — the Vila Lounge Chairs — positioned side by side facing the water. The sauna features large glass doors and windows, allowing views through to the interior where wooden seating and a ladder are visible. The lighting suggests late afternoon or early evening, with soft golden light and scattered clouds in the sky, reflecting gently on the water’s surface.
