CICADA - A NEW COLLECTION

CICADA is shaped by stillness, texture, and the hushed way in which bold noonday light lingers. Inspired by vast, sun-bleached landscapes, it draws from the subtle shimmer that appears in fleeting moments of pause, a flash of silver against heat and dust. Light that is blindingly bright, yet effortlessly held.The collection brings together sculptural objects designed to live within composed interiors. Existing forms are reinterpreted in metal finishes, while new designs introduce metal as a primary material. Cast aluminium, steel, and metal alloys are softened by textured fabrics and woven surfaces, creating balance between weight and lightness. The atmosphere is expansive and calm, encapsulating heat-worn air, alabaster glare, and deep quiet punctuated by intermittent wing-stirred motion. Objects with presence. Quiet, tactile, and enduring. - SLOWLY RELEASING IN 2026
DRIVEN BY INTUITION AND CONCEPT, THE BOFRED DESIGN METHODOLOGY IS FLUID AND COLLECTION-BASED, BLURRING THE LINE BETWEEN ART AND FURNITURE TO YIELD CAREFULLY CONSIDERED, FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS CRAFTED WITH A REFRESHING APPROACH TO CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS.
