Amorphous Cabinet is a unique piece of furniture that transcends time and style. Inspired by the concept of time travel, this sculptural cabinet blends design elements from different eras to create a statement piece that stands out in any space. With a bold stance and striking features, Cabinet seamlessly blends different periods of architecture and design by being a homage to the Art Deco period and the Memphis Design movement while incorporating its own eclectic twist.
Elegant Arc is a sofa designed for home interiors. The sofa is covered with large pieces of top grain calfskin taken from the back section, which reduces the need for chemical adhesives and improves durability. The seat cushion is filled with water washed latex and highly resilient UTTP foam. The backrest combines down and cotton batting in a tested ratio, so the seating is soft yet supportive. Rounded curves, a deep seat and broad armrests allow comfortable leaning, and several color options suit different rooms.
Misfit is a wooden chair designed to support varied seating postures. The chair is made of beech wood and finished with satin varnish, which reveals the natural color of the material. Curved rear legs connect to a semicircular backrest shaped by lamination bending. The legs, backrest and crossbars meet at different angles and form a balanced whole. Mortise and tenon joints and wedged joints provide stability and durability. The semicircular backrest supports the spine and also serves as support when the user sits sideways.
Ekho is a chair that forms part of a coordinated furniture series for the home. The chair is made of environmentally friendly PU leather and 28D cotton with high resilience. A retro stitch technique, widely used in Europe in the fifteenth century, is combined with a modern form to give the chair a cultural character. Shared moulds for the seat, the back and the metal tubes raise production efficiency. Flat packaging reduces transport costs. The chair has passed pressure, torque and falling box tests.
Patti is a whole house custom cabinet system created for residential interiors. The design follows an Italian understated luxury style, with a colour palette of beige, light green and brown. Wood, metal and glass are combined across the cabinets, wardrobes and kitchen units. Curved forms, rounded edges and column elements refer to ancient Roman architecture. A blister moulding process adds durability, while 3D embossing creates an imitation leather texture. A wine rack with a luminous backboard supports storage, display and social use.
Well's is a lounge chair designed for indoor waiting areas. The ergonomic form supports the body and offers comfort during long periods of sitting. The legs are made of turned solid wood, while the seat, back and headrest combine foam with fabric covering over a wooden structure. All parts are produced by hand. Clean lines and warm wooden details follow Scandinavian design principles. Well's measures 725 mm in width and 760 mm in depth. The chair aims to create a calm atmosphere and to support well-being.
Codependent melds psychology and design, specifically focusing upon the physical manifestation of a psychological condition, codependency. These two intertwined tables must rely upon each other to function. The two forms are incapable of standing alone, but together create one functional form. The final table is a powerful example of which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Move is a chair designed to adapt to individual body shapes and ergonomic needs. The seat can change its tilt angle like a cradle, while the backrest is suspended at two converging points, so the backrest can rotate and tilt. A pressure sensor embedded in the seat reminds the user to stand up after a set period through vibrations. The structure is made of cast aluminum with fully recycled content, and the seat, backrest and armrests are made of five-axis milled cork. Move can be assembled by the user and shipped in flat boxes, which reduces the carbon footprint.
The main emphasis of the Infinity armchair design is made precisely on the backrest. It is the reference of the infinity symbol - an inverted figure of eight. It is as if it changes its shape when turning, setting the dynamics of the lines and recreating the infinity sign in several planes. The backrest is pulled together by several elastic bands that form an external loop, which also returns to the symbolism of the infinite cyclic of life and balance. An additional emphasis is placed on unique legs-skids that securely fix and support the side parts of the armchair just like clamps do.
Blooming is a leisure chair inspired by flowers in full bloom. The seat and the back take the shape of petals and follow organic, ergonomic lines that support the spine. The armrests open and turn outward, in the manner of a flower. A triangular support under the seat is based on the pedicel and gives stability and load bearing capacity. The chair is made of white copper and formed as a single piece by three-dimensional printing, which reveals the metallic luster of the material. The size is 920 by 680 by 890 millimeters.
Lewis is a modular bench designed for compact modern homes. The bench measures 1200 mm in width, 400 mm in depth and 400 mm in height. A knock-down structure allows flat packaging, which lowers transport costs. The cushion is filled with 28D styling cotton for high resilience, and the metal parts are finished with environmentally friendly paint. The cushion has two sides. One side is upholstered for seating, and the reverse side forms a flat top for storage use. Simple lines and current colors follow contemporary geometric abstraction art.
Nina & Beni is a solid wood chair inspired by the forms of wooden boat structures. Two steam-bent strips cantilever over the seat, serving first as legs, then as armrests, and finally shaping to the lumbar area. The chair is made of ash, cherry, oak or walnut from sustainably sourced forests, and is finished with natural oils and waxes. Molds cut on a five axis machine guide the steam bending and the lamination of the wood strips. The seat is removable and interchangeable. The shaping method limits material waste.
