About the project

The small meeting room encapsulates the mastery of our carpentry business, showcasing the harmonious blend of tradition, innovation, and sustainability. The overarching theme of the space is "Panta Rhei - Everything Flows," drawing inspiration from the philosophies of Heraclitus and Goethe.

This concept resonates throughout the room, reflecting the idea that change is constant and everything is in a state of flux.As visitors enter the space, they are greeted by flowing lines that guide the eye and create a sense of movement. The CNC-milled ceiling resembles a tranquil water surface, where the gentle rhythm of raindrops creates a dynamic visual experience. This design choice not only elevates the aesthetic but also embodies the philosophy of flow. Central to the showroom is a conference table, complemented by a stunning 3D-printed wooden lamp that further enhances the theme. This lamp serves as a focal point, seamlessly integrating advanced technology with natural materials to illustrate our commitment to innovative design.

The kitchen island is another standout feature of the space, designed to move in three dimensions. It serves as a functional show kitchen, allowing us to showcase our craftsmanship while adapting to various uses.
The materials used, including stone sourced from a nearby quarry, highlight our dedication to sustainability and local sourcing, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

In every detail, this showroom reflects our philosophy of merging traditional carpentry techniques with innovative design, fostering a space where heritage and the future coexist in beauty and sustainability.
