The ODDITY furniture collection is the outcome of the Square Drop brand’s cooperation with Kosmos Project design studio.

It is an example of combining the craft acquired by the historic furniture studio over generations with the designers’ individual style.

The collection includes a storage cabinet, gondola chair, table – stand, desk, column and a top extension cabinet. The typology refers to antique furniture, emphasising the origins of the Square Drop brand.

The furniture structure and its finishing highlight its sculpture-like forms. The collection uses only Polish raw materials and was created in collaboration with local artisans. The furniture items are made of solid ash wood, upholstered with Tomaszów wool, the stone originating from the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, and the cast iron and brass hardware is manufactured by local founders and locksmiths.

The furniture is available in light and dark colour versions. The black version has a raw look, with visible traces left by tools. Its character is emphasised by cast iron and steel hardware. The light furniture items are polished to make their surface velvety smooth. Elegant grooves decorate the fronts, and the cast iron and steel are replaced by warm-coloured brass. Natural materials and diversified textures add to the sensual perception of the furniture. The light refracts on its surface, changing the furniture appearance depending on the lighting. All the materials become more beautiful as they age and so they gain an even more noble look with time. Every piece of furniture is a signature version.

The collection breaks with the traditional division between home and office designs. It responds to the new reality’s needs. The non-obvious character and exciting forms make the furniture items excellent focal points in modern office interiors. A desk with a decorative rolled quartzite leg can become a working space or a console table. The coffee tables easily turn into portable bookcases – auxiliary tables. The collection can be matched with modern designs and classic antique furniture.
