Collaboration with Slovak artist Sebastian Komaček
The INVERT collection emerged organically during the development of interior projects, where architectural thinking naturally expanded into product design. Rooted in spatial experience and material logic, the collection evolved into a distinct concept that questions established hierarchies between structure, material, and comfort.
Stainless steel—traditionally associated with sterile, utilitarian kitchen environments—is reinterpreted as a material capable of warmth, intimacy, and expressive form. INVERT challenges the conventional perception of steel as cold and purely functional, instead revealing its potential to support comfort and emotional presence.
At the heart of the collection lies a deliberate conceptual inversion. The cushion, typically understood as a symbol of softness and comfort, becomes the primary structural element. It carries and defines the overall form of the object, acting as its foundation rather than a secondary layer. In contrast, an elegantly bent stainless-steel frame, shaped under pressure, subtly follows the natural silhouette of the seated body, providing balance and restraint.
Through this dialogue between materials, INVERT explores the tension between material and meaning. The robust, structural material becomes the bearer of comfort, while the soft element assumes a load-bearing role. By dismantling established stereotypes, INVERT redefines the boundaries between structure and softness, strength and intimacy, utility and emotion—positioning furniture as both architectural element and sensory experience.
