At Warsaw Home & Contract, visitors could experience ReHemptation up close – a collection that treats plants as structure. Instead of starting from wood, our furniture is built on Strumber, a plant-based material made from fast-growing annual plants. The pieces were presented both as fully functional furniture and as sculptural forms, blurring the line between product and installation.
Clean lines, soft curves and tactile surfaces made one thing clear: responsible materials don’t have to look “eco” in the cliché sense. They can be bold, refined and unapologetically contemporary, while still delivering the performance expected from everyday furniture. Our stand became less of a showroom and more of a small lab – a place where we could talk openly about what lies behind the objects: how Strumber is made, why we work with annual plants, and how design can quietly shift interiors away from cutting forests toward growing materials.

What stayed with us most from Warsaw Home & Contract were the conversations. Architects ran their hands along the surfaces, asking if it was really not wood. Designers wanted to know how thin we could go with the panels. Visitors were curious whether this kind of material could one day replace the “standard” furniture board they know from every showroom. Those exchanges confirmed that the industry is ready for something more than another version of oak. People are looking for materials with a story that goes beyond marketing claims – solutions that connect craftsmanship, technology, and environmental awareness without losing the pleasure of good design. Participation in the fair became less about “being present at a trade show”, and more about testing how far we can push the idea of furniture that grows back quickly instead of slowly disappearing from forests.
Events like Warsaw Home & Contract 2025 are where big shifts in design quietly begin. By bringing together brands, designers and manufacturers under one roof, they make it clear that sustainability is no longer a separate trend zone, but becoming the baseline for how the industry wants to work.
For us, showing ReHemptation there was a way to put plant-based materials on the same stage as traditional wood-based solutions and see how they hold up in a direct, unfiltered comparison. The response proved that Polish and international audiences are more than ready to discuss interiors in terms of regeneration.
Beyond the stands and schedules, Warsaw Home & Contract gave us space to test a different story about furniture: one where annual plants, smart engineering and design ambition sit at the same table.
ReHemptation is our way of asking a simple question: what if the default material for interiors didn’t have to come from a forest at all?
We’re taking the energy of these conversations into our next projects – continuing to develop materials and furniture that are just as refined as conventional solutions, but rooted in a more responsible future for design.
