Award-winning creative studio Metropolis expands into interior design and introduces a new line of unique furniture pieces designed to serve as architectural metaphors. The collection, called ‘MOM' - produced together with CAREL WoodWorks - not only offers functionality and aesthetics but also portrays a complex narrative of femininity, maternal love, and design evolution in a symbolic and captivating way.
The theme of infinity is a profound and symbolic thread that delicately weaves through each piece, encapsulating the timeless essence of a mother's love. The infinity symbol represents boundless connection and eternal bonds and is a central motif seamlessly integrated into designs that foster togetherness and warmth, enveloping cherished moments in an everlasting embrace.
In MOM form and function come together to offer not only physical support but also an emotionally resonant experience. Achieving this requires meticulously examining ergonomic principles and carefully selecting materials to provide an extended tactile experience, inviting a deeper connection with every touch.

Its muted colours and soft textures convey a serene and nurturing environment, encouraging a feeling of calm and tranquillity”.
