Upie
UPIE is a project of lamps that we have been thinking about for a very long time. It has taken many different shapes and forms but has always kept the same story and intent. We have always seen lighting as a way to shape atmospheres and not so much as a technical tool. UPIE takes the side of warmth and comfort over cold, functional light. It shines light on itself, suggesting its presence in a room almost the same way a night light would, discreetly affirming its presence and offering comfort.
The lamps are entirely made from locally sourced wood in La Drôme, France, and developed with a strong emphasis on material honesty and responsible production.

Campo Mirror
CAMPO is a multipurpose mirror that opens a window to simple times. Inspired by traditional wooden crates used in markets during the early 50’s, CAMPO mirror replicates the functionality and spirit of such object. Its wooden frame allows it to be used both vertically and horizontally to serve and fit different environments. It can be used as a shelf to support a routine, to frame and display objects, or simply as a mirror. CAMPO relies on a simple detail that adds surface area to be used as a shelf, giving it its clever character.
Fig
Figs are a range of playful hooks developed for a primary school in France. A fig shape to hang different coats and scarves, followed by a hook for bags, hats, or other items that need extra grip. Figs are perfect in numbers for public hallways or individually for private homes.
Tile table
A flat pack and easy to assemble coffee table made in solid wood designed to create, with simple shapes and standard manufacturing tools, a strong character that plays with perspectives and movement. Tile can be paired with other tables to create different shapes, layouts and suit different needs.
Midi chair
A chair for the everyday life. It’s not precious. It’s designed to get scratched and bear the scars of use. It’s a chair to have a glass of wine on a terrace and to reach that book on the highest shelf. An affordable chair used for any occasion. Midi is not an icon but a worker for the ordinary. Its familiar shape makes it perfect for any environment. Its design makes it functional for any requirement. It is highly stackable and has interchangeable seat options for every setting.
Oona
For a long time, light came from a flame. It moved with the air, shifted through the evening, and quietly marked the passing of time. Electric light replaced much of this, bringing convenience and clarity, but also a certain stillness. Oona began as a reflection on that difference. Not out of nostalgia, but from the feeling that a softer and less constant light still has a place in the home today.We wanted to create a simple setting for this small ritual to return. The enamelled surface catches and releases the flame in subtle ways, allowing light and reflection to slowly shape the atmosphere of a room. Present whether lit or not, Oona becomes becomes a quiet tool for shaping atmospheres.
Trivet
A common object that is part of our daily domestic landscape and often unnoticed. Trivet is a drawing exercise where the focus is driven by the continuity of how different lines and surfaces flow and meet. It takes its roots in traditional cast iron stoves making its function easy to understand while maintaining a sculptural language.
Map
MAP is inspired by wind maps showing the direction of warm winds. It aims to create a subtle yet distinct atmosphere, with a soft gradient of colours that creates a gentle visual progression inviting contemplation. It defines a visual area designed for resting, evoking that feeling of a warm breeze.
