In a time when design often chases complexity, the Point collection by Kononenko ID for Tivoli offers something rare: restraint. This is furniture stripped down to its purest essence, planes, straight lines, deliberate joints, where every form feels architectural, intentional, and deeply composed.
At first glance, the design feels almost strict. There’s no softness here, no blended transitions or ornamental curves. But look closer, and a quiet elegance emerges. Sharp corners, typically expected in minimalist tables and chairs, have been replaced with gentle angles. This subtle gesture adds safety, ideal for homes with children or smaller living spaces, without compromising the collection’s graphic clarity. In fact, it sharpens it.
Wood is at the core of Point’s philosophy, not just as a material, but as a story. Each piece is made from leftover hardwood fragments, thoughtfully gathered from chair production. These off-cuts aren’t discarded but instead glued into new surfaces and transformed into precise, geometric forms. This isn’t just recycling, it’s a reverent act, honoring the life and character of each board.
The production process itself reflects a deep sense of responsibility. From the use of reclaimed wood to the application of eco-friendly, water-based finishes, everything in the making of Point is designed to minimize waste and environmental impact. The result is a collection that is as mindful as it is minimal, a quiet rebellion against throwaway culture.
A single circular motif runs through the collection, acting as its visual anchor. This rhythmic detail ties the pieces together, offering a pause in the visual flow, a breath. It lends Point not only cohesion but also mood and identity. This balance of severity and softness, of clarity and calm, positions the collection somewhere between Scandinavian utility and Japanese restraint, a distinctly Japandi aesthetic.
Designed by Kononenko ID, captured through the lens of Andriy Bezuglov, and brought to life in collaboration with model Lisa Braslavska and fashion label Gnizdo, Point is more than a collection. It is a meditation on form, function, and the evolving role of furniture in sustainable living.
