Filter is a table mirror inspired by the growing trend of manipulating pictures with photo apps for smartphones and tablets, when reality takes a step to the background and the more interesting changes are applied to the original image, the richer it gets.’ /

All wooden product components consist (of) straight wooden-base panels made of engineered wood: chipboard, mdf, hardboard and honeycomb. Using a technology for direct printing on wood, it is possible develop any proposal on the surfaces of TemaHome products.’ /

‘Based on a classic video-game, PLAY (carpet) allows everyone their very personal combination resulting in vivid solutions to brighten unexpected places around the house.’ /
