Furniture Family
- Liana Shelving:
The product is based on the shape and behavior of lianas; fluid needs support to remain stable.
The shape consists of a play of lines and planes, both geometric and organic, allowing dynamism to store and organize different objects according to the comfort and preferences of people and space.
- Mimosa bimodal furniture:
The concept behind Mimosa is based on the plants from which it gets its name, the main peculiarity of these plants is that they contract to the touch. Mimosa as modular bimodal furniture can be transformed into a chair or table with a single movement, allowing you to change the position of the elements and create the necessary combinations. This allows different spaces to be created in the same room, with as many seats and surfaces as required. Like the Liana Shelving, Mimosa is intended for coworking spaces, satisfying the needs of such spaces by providing choice, control over the product and the space, updating the space, and providing comfort and inclusivity.
