BOLD COLLECTION is a contemporary design series that reinterprets traditional Albanian forms with a fresh, playful spirit.

Blending cultural memory with modern materials and modular concepts, the collection includes four sculptural chairs, two eco-conscious tables, and a textile rug—each celebrating identity, adaptability, and sustainable design. This collection is desned by its vivid forms, modularity, and bold material contrasts, offering not just furniture, but a statement of cultural continuity and contemporary creativity.

INSPIRED BY ALBANIAN HERITAGE
Rooted in the legacy of the traditional Shkam stool and Albanian artisanal aesthetics, the BOLD COLLECTION honors simplicity, handcrafted character, and community identity. Every piece reimagines familiar shapes through a contemporary lens—bridging the past with playful innovation.

SHAPED AS SCULPTURE
Each element in the collection—chairs, tables, and the rug—functions as a sculptural object. The varied silhouettes, from round cut-outs to jagged and oral motifs, turn everyday items into expressive forms. These designs create not only functional objects but also dynamic visual experiences that animate space..

MODULAR & MIXABLE
At the core of the BOLD COLLECTION is modular thinking. The chairs’ interchangeable components—legs, backs, and seats—can be reassembled to reect personal taste or context. The playful geometry of the tables complements this adaptability, and the rug acts as a visual anchor, connecting all elements through pattern and texture.

PLANET-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
Crafted primarily from layered plywood and incorporating recycled plastic, the BOLD COLLECTION is as responsible as it is bold. The reused wood gives warmth and depth, while vibrant plastics introduce energy and contrast. This thoughtful mix of materials highlights a commitment to sustainability, ensuring that bold design also means
mindful design.
