Short description

Nesia is a brand that focused on outdoor products, committed to bring natural life experience to cities.

The word "nesia" comes from the Greek word “nesos”, meaning "island". In modern contexts, nesia appears in the vocabulary as a suffix to represent what the archipelago is. Indonesia, located between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Is the epitome of how scattered islands become a whole.

The intention of the brand is to identify everyone as an island living in the city. Appear to be homogeneous, they can gather and form an archipelago, seemingly isolated but connected to each other.

The same idea goes into the design of working desks in the “lighthouse”, where people come to meet and relax. The desks are considered as the extension of islands, they can be combined into a circular shape that becomes the archipelago, or they can be split into small desks that drift like islands.

The nomadic way of designing the desk helps elevate the quality of the space, the usage of metal represents the concrete and steel that build up the city, but its curvature form speaks about the ambiguous existence of nature in the city. The idea of people travelling through urban and nature best describing our intention to connect different people and life style.
