wa/ter
Cover image missing

wa/ter was founded in response to the excessive waste in interior design, where projects are rapidly planned, demolished over time, and never passed down. This led to the fundamental question: “Have we, as designers, failed to create designs with lasting value?” Through design, wa/ter uncovers new meaning and circulation in materials once shaped by human hands but left without purpose.

wa/ter presents a collection of products that embodies its design philosophy—breathing new life into resources that have lost their original purpose. The collection highlights the inherent beauty of materials with minimal intervention, allowing their natural characteristics to take centre stage. It features furniture, objects, and products crafted from recycled glass sourced from CRT television screens and fluorescent lamps, and Tatsuyama stone from Hyogo Prefecture, a material quarried in Japan for 1.500 years. The collection also includes terrazzo, created by blending recycled glass with natural elements like marble, minerals, and soil.

The Boffi|DePadova Way of Living is made up of details, customs and practices woven together into a rich tapestry. The group proudly narrates this story via the offering of interior systems and furniture elements where quality and consistency are fundamental values. Versatility and the intelligent use of interior space form the basis of the integrated design offer from Boffi|DePadova. These two aspects are expressed by the group in the way it develops not only individual products with a unique personality, but in its ability to put forth a complete project that conveys a distinct mood by merging different entities. It is a manifesto of contemporary architecture.

BEFORE VINTAGE FURNITURE is a Japanese furniture brand based in Hokkaido, Japan, creating furniture from valuable wood that has lost its place in the market due to irregular grain, color variations, or other characteristics often overlooked by conventional standards. Through traditional Japanese joinery, architectural thinking, and careful craftsmanship, these materials are given a new purpose and a longer future. Each piece is individually numbered, reflecting the belief that furniture gains character and value as it ages alongside its owner. By embracing the unique qualities of every piece of wood, BEFORE VINTAGE FURNITURE created furniture designed not only for today, but to become the vintage pieces of tomorrow.

BY EVE, founded by designer Sandra Peters, explores light through the purity of mouth-blown glass and timeless form. Each lamp is individually crafted, giving every piece a unique presence. Defined by organic shapes and refined simplicity, the collection combines glass with materials such as wood and metal to create balanced, atmospheric lighting. Free from unnecessary detail, the designs allow light, material and form to take center stage. Spanning table, floor and wall lamps, BY EVE brings a calm, sculptural quality to interiors—lighting designed to shape atmosphere, elevate space and make the moment matter.
