Ikebana

Ikebana is a floor lamp that also serves as a vase. The name refers to the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The lamp stands 1250 mm high and has a ring of 280 mm in diameter. A removable glass vase with a frosted base holds fresh flowers and conceals the water. A metal frame and a marble base provide stability. Two dimmable light sources with matte diffusers are fitted: the upper ring lights the floral arrangement, while the lower light serves reading and work surfaces. The combined form saves space in small interiors.

Trenta

Trenta is an armchair with an adjustable backrest. A metal mechanism at the rear sets three reclining angles, so the seat suits conversation or rest. The base is made of stained Tauri wood from reforestation, and the inner shell uses anatomical plywood. The wooden parts are shaped by high-precision CNC machining, while the natural leather upholstery is made by hand. Metal parts receive an electrostatic coating. Continuous curved lines and smooth transitions give the armchair a sculptural form. A matching ottoman completes the set.

Balanco

Balanco is a modular sofa designed for contemporary interiors. The name refers to the cantilever, the structural principle used to reduce the perceived weight of the piece. Balanco combines a suspended upholstered base, a solid wood backrest and an integrated natural stone side table on a metal support. Visible support points are minimized, so the large volume appears light. Solid wood, brass, stone, linen, leather and velvet create a contrast between material density and visual lightness. The total length is 3500 mm.

Aloura

Aloura is a pendant light designed for hotel interiors, loft spaces and other large rooms. The sculptural form gives the lamp a strong presence, and the appearance changes as the light is viewed from different angles. The structure combines a 3D-printed core with anodised aluminium tubes, which keeps the composition light in weight. A replaceable E27 bulb sits inside a frosted glass inner shade. Three diameters and three colours are offered, and the parametric design allows other sizes. The lamp is shipped partly assembled in one compact box.

Flora

Flora is an armchair designed for free and informal rest. The continuous curved form removes the boundaries between seat, backrest and arms, inspired by the opening of a flower bud. The asymmetrical shell allows sitting, leaning or lying in several positions, without mechanisms or adjustments. The base is made of solid tauari wood and the shell of pressed curved multilaminate wood, finished by hand and upholstered with sustainable materials. A loose roll cushion adds support in different uses. Flora measures 108 by 110 by 90 centimetres.

Hoor

Hoor Light is a reinterpretation of the Iranian Hooraneh, an architectural element designed to filter daylight through narrow openings. The lamp is formed by two metal plates held together with concealed magnets, enclosing a diffuser that distributes the light evenly. Instead of emitting a direct beam, it produces a gentle illumination that defines the surrounding space. The design connects traditional references with contemporary production methods, merging cultural heritage with present-day use.
