Aleksandra Nazarova – Uyut

Global energy reserves are on the decline. The challenge of efficiently heating homes, particularly the older and poorly insulated ones, is growing. Hemp, having remarkable attributes such as insulation, air purification, bacterial resistance and CO2 absorption, is a fibre that has been making a steady comeback. Its low water requirement for cultivation adds to its appeal. Uyut modules have hemp fibre pockets that prevent the entry of cold air and the exit of warm air, and vice versa. They create warm, smaller spaces within larger rooms and effectively insulate windows, walls and doors. Their flexibility make them a practical and sustainable solution for energy-efficient homes.

Candice Aepli – Brindille et Azilise

by Candice Aepli

Brindille et Azilise invite you to imagine children's space differently, by offering a lively, playful universe in their bedrooms. Here, the story is not read between the pages, but lies on the floor and climbs up the windows. It slips under an arm. It tucks in dreams. It's a whole world at children's level, where ecosystems come to life through furniture, transforming everyday life into a playground for exploration. Le jardin, collection no. 1 The gardener has slipped seeds into the soil, the bright sun warms the petals, the mouse nibbles on the sly, and in this corner full of life, everyone is busy and smiling.

Mattias Koskinen – SKRÅ - Mind in Finland

by Mattias Koskinen

SKRÅ is a clothing brand that draws its inspiration directly from Finland. Designed to reveal what others may not perceive, it opens new paths for exploration. The term Skrå comes from the Swedish language means something oblique or inclined. This first pre-capsule collection, "Mind in Finland", aims to showcase the very essence of the brand. The collection sets aside conventional codes to present a new perspective. It embraces opacity, textures, organic silhouettes, and elongated forms, elements that emerge when landscapes are immersed in light and the shadows it creates. These are the principles that run throughout this work, shaping both the identity and the common thread of the collection.
