Goma Design Studio is a design practice rooted in material exploration and thoughtful craftsmanship. The journey began in Asia, shaped by deep exposure to traditional ceramic cultures and philosophies of imperfection. Founded in Germany, the studio developed a research–driven approach that balances science, craft, and sustainability. In 2026, Goma Design Studio relocated to Porto, Portugal, continuing its work at the intersection of material innovation and slow production. Each piece reflects a quiet dialogue between place, process, and time.

The Most Scientific Craft House of Europe is a design studio where material research meets slow, intentional craftsmanship. Sustainable materials are developed in–house, and custom pieces are created with precision, restraint, and respect for imperfection. Years of research have led to the elimination of toxic components, reduced energy consumption, and a redefined approach to responsible production. Working exclusively with 100% sustainable, locally sourced materials and paper waste, the practice presents a contemporary interpretation of Wabi Sabi—quiet, thoughtful, and enduring.

BAINA is an Antipodean brand of considered bathing essentials, founded in 2019. Distinctly modern and consciously created, the brand’s organic cotton towelling and clean apothecary formulations embrace bathing as an intentional practice—a conscious awakening in preparation for the day ahead, or the slow disconnect of the day that has passed. BAINA offers a gentle reminder to slow down and be present in moments once passed through as part of a routine.

Un’common is a Polish design studio creating furniture from the finest materials such as marble, wood, and steel. At the core of the brand lies stone, the starting point of its design language and the essence of its identity. The founders believe that furniture should be more than well–designed functional objects; it should be a feast for the senses. It should evoke emotion and offer a tactile, multi–sensory experience. Few materials achieve this as powerfully as marble. Timeless, refined, and natural, marble has been used for centuries in architecture, art, and everyday life. Its weight, structure, and inherent imperfections give Un’common’s designs a sense of permanence and quiet sophistication.
