Sama

Sama is an authentic furniture series that provides functionality, emotional experience and uniqueness through its minimal, practical forms and strong visual effect. The cultural inspiration drawn from the poetry of whirling costumes worn in Sama ceremonies is reinterpreted in its design through a play of conic geometry and metal bending techniques. The sculptural posture of the series is combined with simplicity in materials, forms and production techniques, to offer functional & aesthetic benefits. The result is a modern furniture series providing a distinctive touch to living spaces.

Tatamu

By 2050 two thirds of the earth population will live in cities. The main ambition behind Tatamu is to provide flexible furniture for people whose space is limited, including those who are frequently moving. The aim is to create an intuitive furniture that combines robustness with an ultra-thin shape. It takes only one twisting movement to deploy the stool. While all the hinges made of durable fabric keeping it light weight, the wooden sides provide stability. Once pressure is applied to it, the stool only gets stronger as its pieces lock together, thanks to its unique mechanism and geometry.

Dava

Dava is developed for open space offices, schools and universities where quiet and concentrated work phases are important. The modules reduce acoustic and visual disturbances. Due to its triangular shape, the furniture is space efficient and allows a variety of arrangement options. The materials of Dava are WPC and wool felt, both of which are biodegradable. A plug-in system fixes the two walls to the tabletop and underlines simplicity in production and handling.

Cecilia

Cecilia is an armchair in a sustainable way, made of reused materials. A tribute for a lovely grandmother, who was in love with handmade works and the nature. A way to give new use for special materials that could go to the trash. With a poetic and comfortable backseat. The design of its low and reclining structure its an invitation to rest.

Cilindro

Whether ancient or contemporary, the column is a shape always present in the architectonic imagery. Inspired by it, the Cilindro produced by Levira, due to the fact that it articulates in two semi-cylinders, allows one of the halves to be constituted as a container, while the other half, by lifting to a horizontal position the plane that closes it can become a working surface. This surface has on its bottom face a telescopic tubular leg which folds through a small mechanism, allowing the horizontal positioning of the plane that constitutes the work surface.

Hair of Umay

Made in ancient nomadic technique, protected by UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safekeeping, this rug is bringing the best out of wool due to gradient wool shades and fine hand stitching that creates volumetric texture. 100 percent hand made, this rug is made using natural shades of wool plus yellowish tone dyed with onion shell. A golden thread that goes through the rug makes a statement and reminds of the hair freely flowing in the wind - hair of nomadic goddess Umay - protector of women and children.
