The furniture and interior design industry is undergoing a major transformation. Today, it is no longer enough for a piece to be simply beautiful or comfortable—consumers are looking for solutions that combine design, functionality, and innovation. This is where technological and regenerative materials come in, bringing new possibilities that enhance durability, sustainability, and everyday comfort.
