Made from lacquered steel structural elements, the AO Shelves are adorned with lacquered stratified cornices and uprights. This piece unfolds in as many compositions as the architectural space requires. Made with meticulous attention to detail, each cornice is hand-crafted using traditional sheathing techniques, and the colours are original creations.

The Architectural Object collection is a fusion of bespoke craftsmanship, modular construction and a vibrant palette of coloured lacquers, where furniture becomes architecture. This is a series of design objects that blur the boundaries between functional elegance and construction vocabulary. Conceived as a scale model of architecture, it transcends the conventional definition of a design object. It is a testament to the fact that a single object can embody the spirit and essence of a wider architectural narrative.

From the low furniture element to the complex partition wall, from the day bed to the bookcase, AO is a sophisticated blend of materials showcasing the meeting of industry and craftsmanship characteristic of Labaye Sumi. Their practice produces pieces that guarantee both durability and aesthetic refinement.
