Cover image for The Future, as They Imagined

The Future, as They Imagined It I used this historical furniture illustration (https://wellcomecollection.org/works/yrx6n532/images?id=kwvrxup7&resultPosition=20) because I loved how people and animals became the furniture itself, supporting tables or shaping entire pieces. I paired it with this image (https://wellcomecollection.org/works/jhdjbnep/images?id=a292ganx&resultPosition=25), whose visual style caught my eye. Both references come from the Wellcome Collection. That made me wonder: what would furniture look like if the designers of that time had known about laptops, headphones, drones and the other gadgets we use today? I explored that question through a custom Recraft Style and a collection of eight furniture designs, each presented with a graphite sketch. FOLD · Writing desk A folding laptop becomes a writing desk. Its opening movement translates into folded supports and a curved privacy panel, finished in forest green, brick red and ochre. LOOP · Lounge chair Over-ear headphones become a lounge chair, with circular cushioned armrests and a curved frame wrapping around the seat. Brick-red upholstery and an ochre cushion sit inside a forest-green structure. KEY · Sideboard Keyboard keys become six sculpted drawer fronts, arranged in two rows. Their concave surfaces and rounded edges carry over into a cobalt-blue cabinet with blush-pink and cream drawers. FOCUS · Floor lamp A webcam becomes an adjustable reading lamp. Its capsule-shaped head and circular lens turn into a pivoting light, combining lavender, petrol green and butter yellow. PLAY · Sofa A game controller becomes a two-seat sofa. Rounded grips shape the armrests, while thumbsticks inspire the circular back cushions, in burnt orange, petrol blue and blush pink. TRACE · Bookcase A circuit board becomes a storage system. Its pathways translate into shelves and dividers, with enclosed compartments recalling electronic components, in sage green, burgundy and pale yellow. HOVER · Coffee table A drone becomes a coffee table. Four branching arms support circular surfaces at different heights, combining powder blue, coral and cream. SOUND · Bedside cabinet A portable speaker becomes a bedside cabinet. Its circular driver becomes a drawer, while its carrying loop becomes a sculptural frame, finished in plum, peach and mint green. The final room illustration brings all eight pieces together, showing how this imagined collection could live in a contemporary home.

Introducing STANDLAB® — a live exhibition stand configurator built with Base44. I designed STANDLAB to help teams shape a modular stand, see it in 3D, and understand the estimated cost as they build. You can choose a footprint, customize finishes, add and position modules, and review the bill of materials in one place. I started with the brand and interface in Figma, then brought the experience to life in Base44, refining the 3D editor, configuration flow, and pricing interactions along the way.

Booking a fitting shouldn’t take more messages than the alteration itself. Meet Tivora Atelier, a fictional clothing alterations studio in Bucharest. The problem: a solo owner spends too much time asking every customer the same questions and coordinating appointments by hand. I designed and built a booking experience in @Lovable that takes a customer from “Can I book?” to a confirmed fitting. They share garment details, choose an available time and receive a confirmation email. They can add the fitting to their calendar or use a private link to manage it later. On the other side, the owner has one view for appointments, garment notes and availability. This is an exploratory demo, not a real booking service. The video walks through the customer and owner experiences in under a minute. Explore the public project: https://tivoraatelier.lovable.app/ #lovablechallenge
