Frequency is a limited edition furniture collection composed of a lounge chair, lamp, chair, and side table, each inspired by sound frequencies associated with healing and emotional balance. Made from polished aluminum, the pieces were developed using sound visualizers and digital modeling, then crafted through traditional casting techniques. The collection transforms intangible sound waves into tactile, sculptural forms that invite sensory interaction and emotional connection.
Inspired by Suruga bamboo filigree, a traditional craft from Shizuoka Prefecture, this chair captures its timeless beauty in a contemporary design. The slender yet robust structure of steel allows the supple form to gently envelop the body, eliminating the coldness inherent in steel and creating an impression reminiscent of lace. Furthermore, the mirror-finished seat reflects a different world, enhancing the chair's presence. Steel is also an environmentally friendly material with a nearly 100% recycled content rate. This product is crafted using such materials by highly skilled artisans.
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.
Jaipur is a furniture collection of seven pieces inspired by the city of Jaipur in India. The collection includes a console, a credenza, a mirror, a sideboard, a rug, a chandelier and a pendant lamp. The forms are drawn from the honeycombed facade of the Hawa Mahal, while the patterns recall the blue pottery craft of the region. White marble is combined with lapis lazuli through stone inlay and stone overlay, two traditional Indian crafts made by hand. The sideboard can be dismantled, and each leg is fixed to the top, which eases transport.
The star of the show is the molding under the seat. The design is inspired by the facade of sukiya style architecture. It is characterized by a linear composition of square timbers. The wooden parts under the seat create an intentional space, and the light shining through the gaps accentuates the texture and color of the wood. This structure brings calmness and lightness to the space, and the chair itself is designed to accentuate the space.
Lagos is a dining table designed for dining rooms and other shared spaces. The design uses clean lines and defined geometric shapes for a minimalist appearance.

The table measures 310 centimetres in width, 80 centimetres in height and 120 centimetres in depth, offering ample space for guests. Certified wood, metal and concrete finishes support durability in daily use.
