At BRABBU, that story has Nature as its main character and is written by the materials, textures and colors of some of the most interesting places around the world. Nature and cultures are the starting point for each piece the designer idealizes and the craftsman creates. When that happens, forces of Nature become design forces. This philosophy has been spread all around the world since the year the brand was born. BRABBU has been present in some of the most important trade shows like Maison & Objet, ICFF, iSaloni and Decorex and featured in top magazines like AD, Vogue, Elle Decoration, The World of Hospitality and Deco Home, just to name a few. Hollywood is also a location where the brand has left its mark with SEQUOIA Center Table and VELLUM Wall Light featured in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, bringing world recognition. Amongst its milestones, BRABBU was not only selected a trend by Agence Nuel, SAFi and AW2 but also won a Nature Made prize and an interior innovation award. Just like Nature, BRABBU is always evolving. Designing new pieces and taking inspiration from the world is our passion.

A WORLD OF DESIGN WITH NEW BRABBU PIECES
to Jakarta. When the desire to discover the world led us to Java, an Indonesian island known for its stunning landscapes, JAVA mid century modern armchair came to life. An accurate example of elegance and boldness. Inspired by one of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs, BELIZE round mirror was created to mesmerize you, reflecting nature in one of its most elegant ways. Then our senses took us to New Zealand where a treasured honey with miraculous healing effects materialized in the shape of MANUKA center table. Alongside our desire to discover the world, is our eagerness to discover cultures from all around the world, leading us to Nyanmar, in Asia, where we came across a tribe whose woman are known for using neck rings. That was our inspiration to design KAYAN mirror, the perfect complement for creating an exotic home. With all the refinement of velvet, IBIS 2 seat sofa was inspired by the beautiful, elegant birds
named Ibis and known for their long legs while NÂş20 is a symbol of knowledge and rebirth intended to reinterpret the forces of nature in the form of a counter stool. With the idea of making our lighting collection shine bigger and brighter, two new wall lamps were born. Give light a new shape with CYRUS, inspired by the freedom and the vast culture of the Persian civilization, and SYRAH, named after one of the most noble grapes with origins in France. A conversation starter that will give a remarkable light to your next wine tasting with friends. Because BRABBU believes every home decor should reflect both the personality of its owner and the places he has travelled to through unique design pieces, rich fabrics and materials, these pieces will bring the fierceness, strength and power of Nature into any urban lifestyle.
