Polion is a chandelier with twelve lamps. It consists of a twelve angulard metall ring with one socket at each of the twelve sides. You can attach the lights very simple and in any order. Depending on the situation, you can switch them separately on or off. Using the toaster at breakfast in the morning, you can also remove one of the lamps, to connect the toaster or the mobile charger to one of the sockets. Polion is compared to the usage as a lamp also a relief of the home infrastructure. Everybody can take out one of the twelve lamps to use it at a conventional socket in his own room. Light symbolizes here the value of gathering and belonging together.

„Drueckeberger“ consists completely of a solid block of foam. Knife cuts are needed before the cupboard can be used. The size of the cut openings can be individually adapted to one’s own things. The objects are pressed in, unused cuts remain invisible. Drueckeberger stores items without hiding them completely and can accommodate things that would otherwise hardly fit in a cupboard. New room situations can always be created in this way.

The Riddled table comes into its own with the addition of the glass top, which draws attention even more toward the two legs. Two laser-sculpted solids underscore the porosity that characterizes many of the works by the American architect. An invitation to "enter" into the legs: the sheet of ultra-thin wood that forms them is open at the top, making this design even more spectacular as it seems to defy the forces of gravity. Steven Holl has found an ideal partner in Horm, able to make dreams a reality and emphasize them with incredible solutions.
