The CHEESE CLOCK
The Cheese Clock remixes the design typologies of cutting boards and food displays into a playful, participatory table. It features nine Lazy Susans in one, a fully rotating top, multiple spinning platforms, and a bread bowl. Made from durable hard maple, it is finished with food-safe beeswax and linseed oil, with patinated, waxed steel details. Measuring approximately 42" in diameter and height, this interactive food installation adds refinement and fun to any environment. The detachable legs allow for versatile placement or wall hanging when not in use. Easy removal of standoffs and collapsible legs ensures effortless portability to any gathering.

TURNABLE TUFFETS
A modular seating system of six shapes made by tracing the undersides of peoples seated bodies. Each tuffet has a soft cushion side upholstered in grey-toned performance velvet and a hard side in brightly colored vinyl. The tuffets can be used in a number of ways to facilitate a social scene. They stack on top of one another to become as high as a sofa seat, or can be taken outside for a picnic for up to twelve. In their “off” position, the tuffets can be placed on top of one another vertically to become a wall art piece.
FAMILY TABLE
Quartzite top, powder coated steel base
Step into the enchanting realm of Casa Larissa, where a dining table fit for the most notorious salons awaits your presence. This table is a feast for the senses. With an ornately veined quartzite top and steel base arched to match Jøna Maaryn’s curvaceous Sora Chair backs, it creates a magical setting that goes beyond a simple meal.
The Josei and Sora chairs, designed and handcrafted by Maaryn, are made for optimal comfort and adorned with delightful details, embracing you like a warm hug from a mischievous fairy. The green pigment added a marbling effect to each hand poured concrete seat.
The scraps from the Quartzite slab used for the top were made into cheeseboards.
TREE BENCH
In an effort to breathe new life into a forgotten relic, a sculptural bench emerged from the remnants of an abandoned house. Amidst dilapidated rooms and forgotten treasures, chairs, weathered wood, and tree branches were salvaged with care, each carrying stories of a once vibrant home. It was the very tree, planted by a family who had long departed, that contributed its branches to this transformational project. Meticulously assembled, the disparate elements melded into a harmonious whole, forming a bench that bridged the gap between past and future. A canvas was dyed with an ultraviolet-sensitive imprint of the tree's branches, as if capturing a nostalgic memory of the days gone by. The intention was to interweave the home's abandoned past with an optimistic vision of restoration, breathing renewed purpose into forgotten materials and envisioning a brighter future for a home that was once left behind.
