The Life Cycle Furniture Collection is a fusion of biology and design, born from a deep understanding of biological behavior and ecological systems. Embracing "Bio-Logical Design," this collection goes beyond bioinspiration to explore the integration of biological principles into functional, sustainable design. Each piece reflects the harmonious relationship between nature and human creativity, offering aesthetic beauty with practical purpose.

Nova coffee and side tables are inspired by the germination and growth of plants, symbolizing life’s beginning and vitality. The design incorporates plant phototropism, where the form of the tabletop and legs "grow towards the light," embodying the pursuit of energy. The asymmetrical structure challenges traditional design, creating a dynamic, living form rather than static furniture.

Crafted from black walnut wood with natural textures, the pieces evoke the organic curves of plants, adding softness and vitality. This innovative design not only offers visual impact but also a sense of rebirth and growth, bringing nature’s energy into everyday life.
