KURA SER V ER Functionally, this server conceals and hides. In its form, it is a statement piece, playing off geometric origami. The Kura Server finds its name from the Japanese word for storage, a nod to its marriage of function and form. It juxtaposes different materials and finishes creating a subtle yet striking result. Brushed Brass panels framed with delicate oak lines form the main feature of this elegant and strong server.

I C U U C I LA M P Through the 2 distinct elements of its base, this lamp was designed to imitate the angular movement of light.

These ceramic works, each meticulously modelled, take their inspiration from nature’s architecture: the sculpted and faceted forms resemble crystallite formations and geological masses. Each stylized piece is air brushed and varnished to different degrees, creating one of a kind works of art. Brandon Comer Crook for OKHA.
