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.

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.

Ceramic Speaker

Upcycled Echo

Upcycled Echo is a series of ceramic smart speakers made from discarded ceramic decals. In Jingdezhen, about 5 percent of ceramic decals are discarded each year. These reclaimed decals are cut, recombined and collaged onto durable porcelain shells, then fired with high precision to protect the surface. Integrated high-fidelity components provide balanced sound, and the speakers connect to smartphones for music playback and voice interaction. The design reduces industrial waste and links ceramic tradition with modern audio technology.

Camarade

Camarade is a modular furniture collection. The series comprises four pieces: two fixed height stools, an adjustable stool, and a height adjustable table, unified by tapered solid beech seats and powder coated steel frames. The defining innovation lies in concealing gas lift and mechanical telescopic mechanisms within silhouettes slim enough to pass as fixed furniture. Available in Ardoise and Burnt Sienna, Camarade serves hybrid spaces where domestic comfort meets professional function, from home offices to hospitality venues.

Frequency

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.
