one of boca concept‘s main objectives is to reach all types of audiences, not solely design consumers. thus, the studio aimes to offer an unconventional furniture experience, handmade and manufactured, predominantly with sustainable materials.

both functionality and aesthetics were taken into account during the design process. the studio’s vast clientele creates a need for adaptation to different groups, companies and spaces, which is translated in the versatile product design. the sofa can be used in an S shape, in a crescent, as separate benches, or as a central meeting point.

rattan has been used as the main eco-friendly material which has low energy requirements for transportation and processing. it is strong and flexible – ideal for application in furniture design and in promoting sustainability.
