CIRCULARI COLLECTION
"A circular ecosystem of solid wood furniture designed for growing homes"
Redefining furniture through circularity and longevity
The Circulari Series represents a shift toward a more responsible and conscious way of inhabiting our homes. Designed for the pioneering firm Circulari, this collection is built upon a circular business model where furniture is returnable after use. This premise demanded a design language rooted in extreme durability and material honesty. Each piece is conceived not just as a temporary solution for childhood, but as a high quality object that can be professionally remanufactured and redistributed. By focusing on "furniture for homes with kids," the collection integrates seamlessly into contemporary interiors, blending the warmth of natural materials with the functional requirements of a growing family.

Material honesty and the art of remanufacturing
At the heart of the collection is the use of solid ash wood, a material chosen for its resilience, timeless grain, and ability to be restored. Every component is designed to facilitate the remanufacturing process, ensuring that the furniture can be sanded, treated, and returned to a "like new" condition for its next owner. The design emphasizes a tactile experience through rounded edges and soft organic forms, prioritizing safety without sacrificing a sophisticated silhouette. This commitment to solid wood panels ensures that the pieces age gracefully, becoming more meaningful with time rather than becoming obsolete.
Velia, Nimbi, and Kokozi: A sanctuary for rest
The sleeping collection, comprising the Velia moses basket, the Nimbi bedside crib, and the Kokozi cot, shares a consistent aesthetic language of serenity and lightness. These pieces are designed to provide a calm and secure environment for infants while maintaining a minimalist presence in the bedroom. The structure of these resting elements showcases the precision of contemporary woodworking, where every joint and curve is meticulously resolved. By utilizing a flat packed design, the collection also optimizes logistics, reducing the environmental footprint during transport and ensuring an easy assembly process for the end user.
Pombi and Olaki: Versatile storage with a quiet presence
Beyond rest, the series includes the Pombi shelving unit and the Olaki trolley, two storage solutions that exemplify functional versatility. Pombi offers a modular approach to organizing toys and books, while Olaki provides a mobile and tactile storage option that can move through different spaces of the home. Both pieces utilize the same high quality ash wood and rounded profiles seen in the rest of the collection, creating a cohesive visual ecosystem. These storage elements are designed to endure the daily rhythms of a home with children, proving that durability and high performance design are essential pillars of a sustainable future.
A commitment to the next generation
The Circulari collection stands as a testament to the power of design in shaping a more sustainable and conscious future. By merging timeless aesthetics with a circular methodology, we ensure that these pieces are not merely transient objects, but enduring companions for the modern home. It is a commitment to providing the next generation with high quality design that respects natural resources and celebrates the beauty of craftsmanship. In every curve and every joint, the collection reflects a vision where durability, responsibility, and elegance coexist to create a better environment for families to grow.
