Dim Sum Delight

Anvil Tree Inc.

Three small felt capsules, each having a small sky opening, provide a cozy hide out for visitors. Mounted on a sliding plate they are waiting to be turned and turned...a game, a shelter, a meeting place.

Fashion Meets Architecture

Anvil Tree Inc.

The 5 strips that overlap to form a dim-sum-like shape are loosely linked in a way, that the construction remains flexible and each gap can be stretched to open up as an entrance. A tightrope walk between fashion and architecture.
