The Juliet Collection stands as a triumph of timeless design and craftsmanship, embodying a harmonious blend of elegance, functionality, and sustainability. This collection of seating, crafted in Verona, Italy, draws inspiration from the timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet, paying homage to the city’s rich history and the enduring power of love.

At the heart of the Juliet Collection lies an unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. The intricate construction showcases an extraordinary level of artistry, with soft, organic shapes and design details that present a formidable challenge in manufacturing. Juliet pushes the boundaries of seating production for contract use, with every aspect thoughtfully considered to offer a superior user experience.

The Juliet Collection comprises three pieces: a dining chair, a counter stool, and a bar stool. Made from solid ash, the pieces are designed to age beautifully, acquiring a patina that tells a story of enduring love and quality craftsmanship. Available in natural ash, walnut stain, and black stain, with upholstered, caned, or open-back options, adding versatility to the collection to suit various design preferences and functional requirements.

Hand-finished elements, such as the delicate caning, distinguish the collection and showcase the expert artisanal craftsmanship. The production process prioritizes collaborations with family-run shops, women-empowered factories, and suppliers in Italy to foster the preservation of traditional craftsmanship and support the local economy.

Juliet is ergonomically designed for comfort and boasts thoughtful practical features. Metal pulls and T-hooks discreetly mounted into the seat backs offer convenient solutions for accessibility to hang jackets and bags. These metal finishes and protective caps add sophistication and also serve functional purposes, safeguarding the pieces from potential damage with usage and cleaning.

While Juliet possesses a delicate profile, it is engineered and BIFMA-certified to withstand the demands of heavy contract use. This remarkable combination of beauty and durability sets the collection apart, defying expectations and showcasing the designers’ ingenuity and skill in creating beautiful yet resilient seating solutions.

Sustainability is also a priority, crafted using FSC-certified wood to ensure responsible sourcing and minimizing the ecological impact. The manufacturing process optimizes resource utilization by utilizing wood waste and dust to power the factory and sustain wood-drying kilns. Water-based staining techniques further contribute to reducing environmental harm, making the collection an exemplary model of sustainable furniture design.
Standing as a testament to the passion, innovation, and artistry of its creators, the Juliet Collection is setting new benchmarks in furniture design.
