spikes take root in giona bierens de haan's cartoon-like furniture collection
Briefly

Giona Bierens de Haan's new furniture collection, CEIBA, takes inspiration from the unique morphology of the South American ceiba tree. Featured in a Geneva exhibition, the collection includes shelves, a table, and chairs designed to resemble a spiky bush, emphasizing vibrant and whimsical design. Accompanying the furniture is the SOMBRA ceramics series, created in collaboration with ceramist Ángeles Rodríguez, both of which explore materiality and unexpected connections found in nature. The pieces invite admiration and are available upon request, adding natural charm to any space.
The CEIBA series encompasses two shelves, a table, and four chairs, all designed to be arranged like a cohesive, spiky bush, channeling the unexpected forms of nature.
As part of the exhibition, Giona Bierens de Haan partnered with Swiss-Argentinian ceramist Ángeles Rodríguez to create a complementary ceramic collection titled SOMBRA.
Bierens de Haan imbues the collection with a touch of humor and vibrancy, presenting a playful, cartoon-like design inspired by the South American ceiba tree.
The CEIBA pieces are available upon request, inviting admirers to bring their spiky charm into their own spaces.
