Concept

The project embodies the ETHNIC CAVE style — a space that frees people from visual noise and allows them to feel matter, touch and silence. It is inspired by archaic dwellings, clay, woven textures and ritual objects. The main emphasis is on tactility, subdued lighting and an earthy colour palette. Objects with ‘memory’ play an important role — handmade ceramics, woven furniture and rough textures add depth to the modern interior.

materials

The project is based on a combination of warm natural textures that create a sense of authenticity and grounding. The basis is light veneered oak, used for flooring and furniture, combined with decorative plaster with a washed clay effect on the walls and ceiling. The kitchen unit is made of a combination of light wood and travertine, which adds tactile depth. The upholstered furniture is covered with bouclé fabric, which enhances the physicality and cosiness of the space. The atmosphere is complemented by linen curtains, woven elements and large terracotta vases, which serve as emotional accents.
