French Girl Cabinet
The French Girl is a handcrafted solid hardwood utility cabinet that celebrates the intersection of fine craftsmanship, functional design, and artistic expression.
Created to evolve with the rhythms of everyday life, it transitions effortlessly between a record cabinet, liquor cabinet, display piece, or whatever purpose its owner envisions.
Defining the cabinet is a collection of original abstract paintings that form the cabinet doors and central divider, dissolving the boundary between furniture and fine art. These abstract compositions evoke a sense of calm, emotional freedom, and quiet reflection. They invite personal interpretation and moments of pause rather than urgency and mundaness-turning ordinary interactions such as opening a cabinet door into a meaningful ritual of interpreting a piece of art.
Together with the cabinet’s understated elegance and adaptable functionality, it embodies the Soft Life philosophy of intentional living—where beauty is lived with, comfort is celebrated, and luxury is found in creating space for ease, creativity, and everyday enjoyment.

Blue velvet lounger
Created for those moments when all you need is to sit, pause, and unwind- the Blue Velvet Lounger offers a gentle retreat from the pace of modern life.
Designed as an antidote to the pressures of a deadline-driven world, the lounger embraces the principles of comfort, ease, and intentional living. Its sculptural bent-lamination backrest curves around the sitter, creating a sense of enclosure and protection, while the subtle yet luxurious blue velvet cushion introduces an element of quiet luxury and exceptional comfort.
A defining feature of the piece is the rear support, subtly shaped as the silhouette of a human figure. This thoughtful detail serves as a reminder of our shared humanity—that amidst the demands of everyday life, we are only human.
More than a statement piece, the Blue Velvet Lounger is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find comfort in the present moment. It is furniture designed not only for the home, but for peace of mind.
