The Once Collection is a seating range that includes a chair and a barstool. Each seat is built from two forms of laser-cut metal that are welded together. The metal forms a single central leg that splits again into supports for the cushions. Three contact points with the floor provide stability. The cushions are made of foam on a wooden base and are covered with cowhide that is sewn to size. The backrests are connected by a hinge, so the backrests adapt to the seated person. Two versions are offered, one in Corten steel and one painted black.
QWERTY is a sofa bed shaped like a computer keyboard. Each key forms a soft cushion that supports the user while working at the office or at home. Micro electric motors, controlled by a remote unit, adjust every key cushion separately, so the whole surface can be reshaped. The remote offers ten preset settings, and further settings can be added. QWERTY can be used as a sofa, as a bed or as a fully customized support. The design turns a familiar everyday image into flexible furniture with a light touch of irony.

The seat fits on an L shaped backrest, and the parts are joined in one direction with metal screws and wooden dowels. Assembly and disassembly are possible with basic tools. Single parts can be replaced, which supports maintenance and a longer service life.
Era is a backless chair designed as a sculptural seating element for interiors. The base is formed by metal rods fixed between an upper and a lower pole, each held by a metal ring with holes set at calculated angles. The rods turn around a central axis, and the reflection of light between the lines creates a sense of movement. All fastening elements are hidden, so the structure reads as a clear form. The seat is covered with foam and leather, and a plywood plate inside prevents the foam from deforming. Era measures 500 millimeters high, 450 wide and 450 deep.
Mira is a chair designed for dining and general seating. The frame is made of three circular stainless steel profiles.

Fabric-covered seat and back surfaces are attached to the frame, and height-adjustable plastic feet complete the chair. Mira is lightweight and can be placed around a table or on its own. The chair can be used leaning to the left or to the right. Mira is shipped disassembled, so users can assemble the chair after unpacking.
Yakamoz is a collection of kilim rugs that takes its inspiration from the poetry of light reflections on the sea surface. The abstract patterns represent the alluring sight of the reflected moonlight over the Aegean Sea and are handwoven to these kilim rugs by Anatolian weavers. The kilim rugs in the collection merge the spirit and sensibilities of centuries old craft traditions of Anatolian kilim weaving with a contemporary, artisanal and sensual design approach, with the aim to bring the atmosphere of Aegean coastal nature to the everyday life of interiors.
The Bridge is a sideboard designed for use in homes and offices. The cabinet is made of 30 mm thick solid reclaimed jarrah, taken from roof beams of demolished houses in Perth, Western Australia. The cabinet is suspended by white acrylic solid surface legs, which also pass through the piece and form part of the top. Recessed handles and bevelled drawer edges create a minimalist look. The drawers run on soft close, full extension runners, and traditional butt hinges allow the doors to open 160 degrees. A clear polyurethane finish protects both materials.
Pad is a folding chair designed to save space. The chair folds into a flat panel that measures 41 cm in length, 4 cm in width and 86 cm in height. Several folded panels can be stacked and stored together. To open the chair, the bottom beam is pulled down so the seat and the legs come out. The seat is then folded up by 90 degrees, and the legs are folded down by 90 degrees. Pad is made of teak, a wood that is stable, wear resistant and protected against decay and insects. The flat form suits homes and public places.
