Capsule

The Capsule Sofa introduces a retro futuristic soft design language, redefining armrests as key elements of comfort and interaction. Moving beyond structural function, they extend the lounging experience, allowing users to lean, recline, and unwind across the entire surface. With fluid, enveloping forms, the design encourages dynamic use, transforming the sofa into a versatile and immersive space. Blending aesthetics with function, it reimagines traditional seating, offering a new perspective on relaxation and modern living.

Osso

The Osso chair captivates one's attention with its striking silhouette. The chair is both Baroque and Minimalist, with its curved beams, bent seats, and a circular backrest layers up to the back like a spine, hence, Osso. Though the joineries seem effortless, the design follows architectural principles for strength and rhythm, reminiscent of traditional Oriental architecture. In collaboration between the young designer with seasoned French cabinetmakers Brimbois, the design is elevated by applying century old techniques and finishes to new contemporary pieces.

Misterio

Misterio are metaphorical portals capable of transforming any space by filling it with colored highlights. The collection was inspired by the northern lights. Shamans of the northern peoples considered the northern lights a manifestation of supernatural forces. The main elements are made of glass with multi-color coloring. They look like sea waves frozen in glass, create a amorphous highlights that changes with every glance. The solution with the ring element directed inward provides soft lighting, creating light ornaments on the surrounding surfaces.

Double Moon

Double Moon is a gravitational capture phenomenon where, in addition to a permanent natural satellite, the Moon, the Earth has a second, temporary satellite. It was this rare phenomenon that inspired these models. To convey this effect, simple geometric shapes were chosen and an laconic silhouette was created. Various lighting effects were also used to create glare on walls and on glass elements. The developers also used a mirror gradient on the glass to hide the fasteners.

Level

People often forget about their first impression. That is why a collection was created to emphasize the beauty of familiar places. For example, many people live in modern megacities, and they are initially impressed by modern architecture and urban landscape, but then it becomes familiar to them. The Level collection conveyed the beauty spirit of the big city. This was done thanks to multi level glass elements, vertical ornament and amber glass. The models have two Led light sources: Lower to illuminate the functional areas of the space and Upper to illuminate the decorative glass.

Frozen

Combining impressions of the surrounding nature with the traditions of glass production and 3D printing technologies this was the idea of the project. Many people are fascinated by the northern nature, huge forests and winter landscapes. In order for each person to bring an element of this aesthetic at home and the Frozen collection was created. A fragment of the tree was used, which was scanned in 3D, and changed in a special program. This was done so that when creating a glass element, the wood pattern was more pronounced and the glare of light on it looked more interesting.
