'150ml'

150ml is a set of five porcelain cylindrical vessels originally cast by five different types of
wood; every vessel comes with its own box made out of the same wood used for the original
casting. each designed to hold a capacity of 150ml despite their visible variation in scale.

'the weight of light'

light is by definition something hard to quantify or experience with human hands.
by associating light to weight, nicolas cheng provides the user with a new experience
through controlling light in a more haptic way. combinations of simple mechanisms utilize
gravity resistance to transfer light to a bulb. for every 100 grams of weight, a corresponding
10 watts of light is produced.

'think hard' pencil

'think hard' is a meditation ring/pencil. it is designed to use with eyes closed.
