We were delighted to participate in Valuable: Romanian Design & Sculpture at the Romanian Embassy in Paris, with a curated selection from our longstanding designers.
Among the highlights were the sculptures by Cosmin Florea, which drew the attention of art enthusiasts for their compelling synthesis of heritage and environmental commentary. His series of three vases — Bhaga Trametes (2025), Vassos Exidia (2025), and Mycelia Stereum (2025) — reimagines Dacian fruit bowls, containers, and funnels, embedding fragments of melted recycled glass sourced from the hills of Transylvania.
These glass inclusions reference the proliferation of plastic and glass waste now seeping into the earth, a poignant allusion to the traces of human pollution embedded within the geological layer itself.

The Cariatide Table, designed by sculptor Peter Jecza, redefines the concept of functional sculpture.
Inspired by Constantin Brancusi's iconic "Cariatide", Jecza's table showcases elegant female silhouettes as structural support for a glass surface. Rooted in the pursuit of materializing the immaterial, Jecza's work masterfully merges form and function.

Another great exhibition opening from last week was the King Bronze exhibition at @jecza_gallery . The exhibition explores the path that sculptor Peter Jecza walked, creating over 1200 impressive sculptures along the way.
The exhibition, complemented by five musical compositions @petre_inspirescu_official created, while taking inspiration from Jecza’s works, will stay on display at Jecza Gallery, until November 12th.

@ana__botezatu ’s ceramic sculptures are situated at the intersection of utilitarian object and art object, without being able to be pinned down to one of these categories. The Sketchbook vase embodies her artistic philosophy. It's not just a vase; it's a unique, versatile piece that serves as a striking accent in your space. Every stroke of creativity finds a place within its elegant form.

The Dancing Moss sculpture, a unique piece, created by @ana__botezatu u, finds its place within the "A Pile of Anxieties" series, unveiling a complex and abstract interplay of conceptual relationships among its elements, deliberately crafted to provoke unconventional interpretations.
We’re definitely looking forward of showcasing more of Ana’s new work at the upcoming exhibition "Courage, the fulfillment won’t break you", opening on the 30th of September at Cazarma U in Timisoara.

Blending craft, nature, and technology, @project_para ’s 3D-printed sculptural objects redefine design.
Take for example the Fructus Patera bowl, a timeless piece, that pays homage to the opulent traditions of ancient Greeks and Romans. It’s almost a portal to an era when indulging in nature’s beauty was both ritual and refinement.

„The power of an object lies in its ability to protect old traditions, to mold itself according to needs, to cancel, to contradict, or even to abolish, to create an emotion. When I choose a new object to be part of the curated selection for the @e.pretext platform, I think about what it conveys, what it defends.” – founder and owner @adelamariamarius on what it takes to curate the online selection at EPRETEXT.

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated. - Auguste Rodin

In the world of design, imperfections become exquisite art. The Separè Room Divider from @kabinetstudios is a testament to this truth. Each panel, showcasing the almost-deformed-looking grains of elm burl, tells a unique story. A story of nature's beauty. Explore their timeless piece through the link in bio.
Imperfections and irregularity are the most highly regarded form of beauty at @kabinetstudios .
The designer duo, Daniel Nikolovski and Danu Chirinciuc, are mesmerised by the almost-deformed-looking grains of elm burl - commonly found as a rounded outgrowth on a tree with small knots from dormant buds - and have accentuated this beauty on a lustrously curved separè; because what frames the space frames the mind.
