Sand & Birch Design studio was founded in 2003 when Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro decided to join their different cultural backgrounds and experiences together for a unique project: to re-interpret the concept of furnishing and to bring other meanings, other senses and other lives to Objects. The Diamond Sofa is an example of how this project has begun reality turning a sofa into a piece of jewellery without losing its original functions.

The KH lounge chair was designed and built during a summer program at Denmark's Design School in Copenhagen. It is inspired both by the classic modernist steel tubing chairs of Breuer, Stam, and van der Rohe, as well as the work of the Danish designer Poul Kjaerholm. It is a highly comfortable lounge chair, with a design that further allows it to be disassembled for easy transportation. Designed and manufactured by Martin Konrad Gloeckle, a German-born designer currently residing in New York City.

E-vaso is a flower vase and a multiple socket outlet, that allows the plant to growing up in the correct way, if the vase is used like an energy feeder. If you decide to use E-vaso, you feed, at the sa e time, the plant with water and light. As a matter of fact, when E-vaso is working, a mechanism starts and allows the water filtering and feeding the plant. Then some leds start working and cast some rays of light towards the plant. In this way, the natural event, recently not so considered, assumes a new role becaming intermediary presence between man and machine.

- 3XN values curiosity, originality and poetry and has a multi-layered approach.

We work with user-centered methods fitting each project uniquely to the users and our client – with a strong emphasis on designing for human beings.

We build on a Scandinavian tradition of functionality, clarity and beauty.

Each project is a research endeavor that adds to our experience and approach. Each new project rests on the shoulders of many others, yet challenges everything done before.

Our thorough knowledge of materials, engineering and user needs combined with our organizational strengths in economy, project management and implementation set us free to explore new frontiers and to challenge existing frameworks.

We work in the confident knowledge that we can make playful and poetic architecture jump from the drawing board and come alive.

3XN translates poetry into reality and aim for our architecture to become the heritage of tomorrow.
