BY ATELIER PENDHAPA
THE VARNA COLLECTION.
An eloquent fusion of vibrant hues and commanding monolithic forms. Each design piece is handcrafted to captivate attention, encourage interaction, and to serve as the vibrant heart of a space.
Drawing inspiration from the kaleidoscopic palette of the natural world - from rich emerald greens that evoke lush landscapes to deep sapphire blues reminiscent of tranquil waters, or vibrant reds to add warmth and energy, while soothing pastels provide a serene contrast – the Varna collection uses colour as a tool to redefine spatial dynamics.
At the heart of the design of the collection lies its monolithic aspect: bold, geometric curved forms that assert their presence while seamlessly integrating into a space. Each piece acts as an anchor, inviting us to orbit around them. Their ambiguous forms become gravitational centres, inviting for social interactions to converge and engage.
