A steam punk take on Eames, Calder and Prouve meets nostalgia for the heavy-duty workshop furniture.
The constructing principle is based on two identical cut metal pieces symmetrically bent.
DCP comes with a matching table whose insect-shaped support is an answer to the issue of a central stand without a base that impedes the feet. Materials: Solid local ash legs, metal structure, ash plywood
DCP is an object with strong personality and prominent features but at the same time discretely blends in and seems "deja vu".
DCP is successfully populating a variety of cafes and restaurants in Bucharest.
With our range of furniture are trying to fill in gaps we noticed in the HoReCa dedicated furniture such as the right balance between price and uniqueness. Usually there is a reverse ratio between the technology used in one product and its uniqueness, as technology; in order to be effective requires mass production. We addressed this issue by relying on craftsmanship rather than technology and adapted the design to artisan skills to be found in small workshops in Transylvania.
