Balanco

Balanco is a modular sofa designed for contemporary interiors. The name refers to the cantilever, the structural principle used to reduce the perceived weight of the piece. Balanco combines a suspended upholstered base, a solid wood backrest and an integrated natural stone side table on a metal support. Visible support points are minimized, so the large volume appears light. Solid wood, brass, stone, linen, leather and velvet create a contrast between material density and visual lightness. The total length is 3500 mm.

Aloura

Aloura is a pendant light designed for hotel interiors, loft spaces and other large rooms. The sculptural form gives the lamp a strong presence, and the appearance changes as the light is viewed from different angles. The structure combines a 3D-printed core with anodised aluminium tubes, which keeps the composition light in weight. A replaceable E27 bulb sits inside a frosted glass inner shade. Three diameters and three colours are offered, and the parametric design allows other sizes. The lamp is shipped partly assembled in one compact box.

Flora

Flora is an armchair designed for free and informal rest. The continuous curved form removes the boundaries between seat, backrest and arms, inspired by the opening of a flower bud. The asymmetrical shell allows sitting, leaning or lying in several positions, without mechanisms or adjustments. The base is made of solid tauari wood and the shell of pressed curved multilaminate wood, finished by hand and upholstered with sustainable materials. A loose roll cushion adds support in different uses. Flora measures 108 by 110 by 90 centimetres.

Co2ffe

The Co2ffe espresso machine is a semi-automatic domestic system that uses standard CO₂ canisters, such as SodaStream, to generate 9 bar brewing pressure required for espresso extraction. The replacement of a conventional vibratory pump reduces noise and vibration to a soft hiss. This alternative pressure system allows an open structural layout that avoids a closed, box like housing and makes the brewing process visible during use. The design integrates patented technology developed to produce crema in line with Italian espresso formula, 25 ml of water, 9 bar, and 7 grams of coffee.

T70 Ultra Station

The T70 Ultra Station is a floor cleaner designed for home use. The Edge-Sensing System allows cleaning in spaces as low as 8 millimetres, with a side reach of 30 millimetres for edge to edge wet mopping. The Smart Capture Robotic Arm lifts to 17 millimetres to collect larger particles. The docking station holds 5.5 litres of water and refills the cleaner automatically. The slim frame measures 98.5 millimetres and is made of PET with in-mould decoration. Operation is quiet at 68 decibels, and drying is automatic.

Astra 1.0 Ultra Station

Astra 1.0 Ultra Station is a dry and wet vacuum cleaner for home use. The appliance features a dual AI robotic arm and an edge extending side brush that activate automatically when TOF sensors detect furniture or walls, so low and hard to reach areas are cleaned. A light effect interactive display on the floor brush shows the operating status, and omnidirectional power assisted wheels reduce the effort needed to move the unit. After cleaning, the vacuum returns to its docking station for self cleaning, charging and sterilization.
