Studio Sain is a contemporary design studio focussing on experimental object design. Found in 2018 by Namuun Zimmermann and Martijn Rigters, Studio Sain explores the broader subject of design from a human-centred approach, working in the fields of object design, research and education. Bulbous Once the craft of kings, woodturning has slowly become forgotten, In response, Bulbous aims to celebrate the unique technical skills of the craftsmanship, by creating a collection of hand-turned objects with a functional twist. With the motto Ornaments follow Function, Studio Sain examines woodturning as a form of joinery, leading to a collection of seamlessly fitting components, consisting of a series of movable lights, mirror and shelves. Initiated and funded by Vienna Design Week, in collaboration with woodturner Hermann Viehauser. Participation in the Talents programme at Design Shanghai was generously supported by the Industrial Design department at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. Images: L. Hilzensauer
