Achieving the delicate equilibrium between creating spaces that exude visual tranquility and a sense of reflection is essential in our interior design philosophy – crafting balance between harmonious spaces that generates an atmosphere of visual peace and reflection, seamlessly integrates architecture and furniture design in spaces characterized by simplicity and serenity.

Our holistic practice encompasses the entire spectrum in which interior design exists, from quality furniture created with a love for natural and living materials to conception of spaces. In a world filled with complexity, we advocate for the beauty of reduction, where every element serves a purpose, and every design choice is deliberate. We aspire to demonstrate that design can be a means to better understand ourselves, fostering introspection and mindfulness in our daily lives, and believe simplicity brings peace.

Collaboration with creative minds is pivotal in unlocking undiscovered potentials and exploring unknown territories without preconceived expectations. To us, collaborating with artists and creatives as Yoyo Balagué and Bruno Ollé are a core element in our creative sphere and practice – a way to deconceptualize the object and our perception to find truth and meaning. The collaborative process becomes a spontaneous and mutual discovery between the artist and our studio, extending beyond a mere partnership and into deep spiritual collaboration.

Our collaboration with Cedric Etienne exemplifies our shared dedication to approaching design from a spiritual perspective. Together, our goal is not only to craft aesthetically pleasing spaces but also to convey a powerful message. Our use of natural materials reflects our commitment to living in harmony with the world, allowing us to create spaces attuned to the rhythms and energies. Our creative journey transcends conventional design boundaries, aspiring to touch hearts, stir spirits, and imprint our shared vision on the world.

More than a piece of furniture, the table is a gathering place and a symbol of togetherness. Around the table, memories unfold, ideas are born, dreams are discussed, and bonds are strengthened. The table is at the heart of every space.

The blend of cork and wood goes beyond visual appeal; it engages the senses in an exploration of contrasts and complements. The resilience, natural texture, and eco-conscious appeal of cork and the enduring charm and timeless elegance of wood coexist in a harmonious balance. The soft, tactile quality of cork finds resonance with the earthy richness of wood and brings a tactile warmth and a sense of groundedness to the designs.
