“Our pieces are more than just furniture,” say designers María Daniela Huiza and Abraham Bendheim from JUNTOS PROJECTS.  “They're reflections of our commitment to quality, sustainability and community.” Juntos Projects creates furniture that merges principles of circularity with conscious design, skilled craftsmanship, and the spirit of togetherness. Every piece  is developed in collaboration with highly experienced craftspeople and celebrates the beauty of natural materials sourced as locally as possible. Manufacturing takes place in Lewiston, Maine using hard maple sustainably sourced from the northeast in the  United States. One of our favorite Juntos Project pieces is the Mortise bookshelf (see images 2 and3),  a great example of modular design, easy to assemble and disassemble. It can also be flat-packed, which requires less space when transported and, therefore generates less CO2 emissions. Have you come across great furniture designs lately that blend principles of circularity with conscious design and great aesthetics?

𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙: 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 This image showcases an architectural design that speaks to the discerning eye of the modern designer. It is a harmonious blend of chic sophistication and cultural homage, reflecting a deep understanding of how space interacts with identity and commerce. The façade of the building is a canvas, carefully composed with vertical wooden slats that pay tribute to the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship, while simultaneously exuding a sleek, urban vibe. The grey shingle tiles that crown the structure bring a textured, contemporary edge, setting the tone for a design narrative that is both grounded and avant-garde. This juxtaposition of old and new is a deliberate choice, reflecting a trend in design where history is not just preserved, but reimagined to meet the sleek sensibilities of the modern era. The signage is minimalist yet bold, asserting its presence in a clean, sans-serif font that is the hallmark of cutting-edge design. It whispers luxury and exclusivity, promising an experience that is both upscale and accessible. The emblematic round symbol perched gracefully on the building acts as a seal of quality and distinction. Its placement is strategic, creating visual balance and signifying a stamp of excellence that is recognizable to the connoisseur. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer transparency and connectivity, inviting interaction and engaging the community. This openness is the essence of chic design, where boundaries are blurred between the private and the public, the interior and the exterior. For the designer seeking inspiration, this building stands as a testament to the power of blending tradition with modern flair, creating a space that is not just seen but felt, and not just visited but experienced. #designstyles

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲+𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 Embodying the ethos of "less is more," 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣, also known as ultra-minimalism, is a style that celebrates simplicity, clean lines, and basic shapes. Neutral colors like whites, blacks, and grays dominate the palette, creating a sense of calm and order. Functionality is key, with furniture pieces designed for clear purposes, often featuring multi-functional elements. Sustainable materials and subtle textures are used to enhance the space without overwhelming the senses. This design approach ensures a serene and intentional environment where form follows function. #ExtremeSimpleDesign #Minimalism #DesignTrends

Midweek Design Spotlight 🔦 - Can you spot the real Prouvé? Product: Standard Chair by Jean Prouvé for Vitra. History: Jean Prouvé was a French industrial designer and engineer who believed in creating furniture that was both functional and durable. The Standard Chair, designed in 1934, is among his most iconic pieces. What sets this chair apart is its clever use of materials and structural design. Prouvé recognised that the back legs of a chair carry most of the weight, so he made them thicker and sturdier, while the front legs are more slender. This balance of form and function is evident throughout Prouvé's work. My Thoughts: This chair holds a special place in my heart. In my first year of university, I was tasked with creating a 1/5th scale model of the Standard Chair to test my model-making skills. It was a great mini project that gave me a deep appreciation for the chair’s design and construction. I admire the Standard Chair for its simple yet powerful design. The fact that it’s still being produced today highlights its timeless aesthetics and fundamental role in the history of furniture design. One day, I hope to own one myself. #DesignSpotlight #JeanProuvé #StandardChair #IndustrialDesign #ProductDesign #DesignEngineering #FurnitureDesign #DesignInspiration #Vitra #DesignHistory #MidweekDesignSpotlight

One of the key elements of the PONTUM (which was created in the framework of the deisgnLAB by Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency) project is the inspiration drawn from the bridge pillars and the shapes of the Elisabeth Bridge, which is emphasised in the design of the chairs and tables. In this picture, we wanted to transfer the bridge’s suspensions into the chairs’ supports, and this wire solution proved to be the best choice. #sarakele #studio #sarakelestudio #contemporary #furniture #design #sustainable #geometric #minimalism #nature #product #development #hungariandesign #productdesign #emotional #details #collection#design #hungariandesign #designlab #incubationprogram #designprogram #furnituredesign #pontum

The design process is always followed by the construction, which often requires professional help. In the case of PONTUM, the fine craftsmanship is provided by Nezozen, a company which has been producing custom made furniture, moulds, prototypes with a complete modern production technology since 2012. However, successful cooperation depends not only on mutual sympathy but also on assertive communication and shared motivation. #sarakele #studio #sarakelestudio #contemporary #furniture #design #sustainable #geometric #minimalism #nature #product #development #hungariandesign #productdesign #emotional #details #collection#design #hungariandesign #designlab #incubationprogram #designprogram #furnituredesign #pontum

PONTUM furniture, one of the most important projects of the year (which was created in the framework of designLAB by Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency) has officially been completed at the Nezozen factory. The next few weeks will be all about shooting the official photos, but in the meantime I’d like to share with you some interesting moments of the development process. In this video, for example, you can see how we turn the raw wood furniture into black by burning it. During the process, we particularly burn the top layer to ensure that the quality of the material is not damaged. #sarakele #studio #sarakelestudio #contemporary #furniture #design #sustainable #geometric #minimalism #nature #product #development #hungariandesign #productdesign #emotional #details #collection#design #hungariandesign #designlab #incubationprogram #designprogram #furnituredesign #pontum

True impact comes from strategic design, not just decoration This image shows a spoon on a plate. The spoon itself may be beautiful, but without the context of a meal or its intended use, it's merely decoration. In design, just like with this spoon, aesthetics without purpose can be empty. Strategic design goes beyond the surface to create something meaningful and functional #Design #Strategy
