COLLECTIONS & CONCEPTS
Inflated Metal
The Inflatable Series takes inspiration from industrial processes like hydroforming and aeroforming, using them to create sculptural pieces that challenge traditional perceptions of steel. By inflating welded sheets of metal, the process introduces organic undulations and ripples, making each piece truly unique.
This juxtaposition of a hard, industrial material transformed into something soft and artistic is at the heart of the collection's design philosophy. As we continue to explore this process, the Inflatable Series will grow with new designs that push the boundaries of material expression and form.

BASIC SHAPES
The Basic Shapes Series draws inspiration from the purity of geometric forms like cubes and spheres, transforming these simple shapes into striking furniture pieces. This collection focuses on minimalism, where form is kept simple, and intrigue is created through the thoughtful juxtaposition of materials such as polished stainless steel, leather, and timber.
Each piece showcases the balance between modern, clean lines and the warmth of natural materials, allowing for versatility across various interiors. As the collection evolves, new designs will be introduced, staying true to the theme of simplicity and material contrast.
