SHAPE & SHADE at Milan Design Week 2025: Presenting the Collaborative BOLD Collection

We are excited to share that SHAPE & SHADE will be showcasing at Milan Design Week 2025, as part of the Isola Design Gallery, under this year’s evocative theme: "Design is Human."

Rooted in the belief that design is not just about aesthetics or functionality, but about emotion, identity, and connection, this edition of our BOLD Collection takes on a new life — one shaped by collaboration, craft, and care.

A Collective Expression of Boldness

For Milan, we’ve reimagined the BOLD Collection as a collaborative journey, bringing together incredible makers and studios from Kosovo who share our values of storytelling through materials and form:

• BOLD Chairs – Meticulously crafted by ELNOR Furniture, these modular pieces celebrate form, structure, and character through high-quality woodworking and a bold design language.
• BOLD Qilim – Handwoven by ARTI N’LESH, the rug draws inspiration from traditional Albanian textile motifs, transformed into a contemporary statement of cultural memory and material poetry.
• BOLD Table – Reborn by BONR, this piece turns recycled plastic into a sculptural centerpiece, merging sustainability with design sensibility.

Each piece in the collection is not just a product — it is a reflection of identity, heritage, and experimentation. Together, they form a narrative that invites interaction, dialogue, and play.
