Projects

KEHIKKO – Rooted in ultimate simplicity, the Kehikko chair embodies a straightforward and honest design, free from superfluous elements. It meets every functional need while delighting the senses with its balanced, slim silhouette. The contemporary, minimalist aesthetic makes it an ideal addition to both domestic and public spaces.
FOLD – Fold is a multifunctional and versatile bench/side table crafted from 100% Finnish pine wood. It features a V-shaped storage shelf beneath the surface, offering practical storage. True to its name, the minimalist Fold design can be collapsed into a flat-packed form for convenient shipping.
KARA – The Kara chair seamlessly blends contemporary Nordic design with ecological sustainability. Crafted from locally sourced pine wood, it emphasizes minimal environmental impact by reducing material waste. Despite its solid construction, the chair's stackability enhances practicality for various spaces. With elegant details, precise proportions, and geometric lines, the Kara chair presents a visually striking aesthetic. This fusion of functionality and style, rooted in eco-friendly principles, makes it a standout choice for modern interiors, exemplifying the harmonious coexistence of beauty and sustainability.
PAL – Design that positively impacts the user is good, but design that brings a smile to their face is great! The Pal side tables perfectly exemplify this philosophy with their simple yet functional construction. The bottom cylinder is made of veneered wood, while the tabletop comes in two shapes: a circle and a square. The unique design, where the bottom cylinder intrudes into the tabletop, creates a subtle smile, giving the tables a quirky and charming character.
PIVOT – The Pivot wall lamp features a sleek and simple silhouette, designed to serve as a mood light. It can be installed horizontally or vertically, and its adjustable design allows you to rotate the lamp to direct more light in any desired direction.
SEESAW – The Seesaw wall lamp draws inspiration from classic wooden block toys for children. It is a sophisticated yet playful spotlight that serves a functional purpose. This versatile lamp can be used as a reading light or to accentuate specific areas within a space.
VETRO – The Vetro lamp boasts a sleek, minimalist design that exudes modern elegance. Its translucent glass cone shade subtly diffuses light while concealing the light source, creating a captivating and serene illumination. The LED fixture seamlessly connects to a cylindrical connector, adding a touch of color and industrial flair. This lamp embodies understated sophistication, making it an ideal addition to contemporary interiors.
