A new product category: high-end outdoor furniture from Estonian limestone. Four pieces built on slab logic — cut slabs meeting at right angles, softened by textile.

The design language is Nordic restraint with architectural presence — furniture built like architecture, legs like walls, slabs as surfaces. Quiet materials, cool light, nothing decorative softening the stone. The technical logic isn't hidden in the design; it is the design.

Research placed it between premium and collectible (benchmarks €7–35k), which led to numbered editions, made to order with no stock, sold first through architects and interior architects.

The whole collection and its spaces were AI-rendered to pitch it before any prototype. Next: two or three physical prototypes.
