We were asked to design architectural elements for a 100-square-meter outdoor terrace that would introduce height and define distinct areas, particularly a secluded dining space. The structures needed to support effective evening lighting while conveying depth and sophistication.

We crafted arches that echo historical architectural forms, bringing gravitas to the contemporary terrace setting. Built in sections from rendered bendy ply, the structures were assembled on-site at the ninth floor. Integrated lighting ensures balanced illumination for evening gatherings, while custom planters at the bases both anchor the structures and provide space for climbing vegetation. The result transforms a modern terrace into a space with architectural presence, where each arch frames a distinct dining zone while supporting the natural flow of social interaction.

CEEN was commissioned to create an immersive cinema space that transcends the typical home theatre experience. The design needed to craft a distinct atmosphere that would transport viewers away from reality while maintaining comfort and sophistication.

We enveloped the space with a rounded curtain that returns behind the screen, creating a cocoon-like environment. The seating combines a vintage curved sofa featuring pill-shaped cushions with two 1970s chairs and pouffes, all upholstered in Pierre Frey's Ivoire Teddy Mohair fabric. Every element was deliberately softened and rounded, fostering a surrealist, childlike atmosphere. The tactile fabric choice creates a nostalgic comfort, like embracing a childhood furry friend, while the curved forms craft an environment that serves as a portal for escape from reality.

We were asked to create an outdoor dining sanctuary suitable for luxury summer entertaining, providing a sense of height and enclosure without requiring planning permission at the top of a high-rise. The space needed to feel warm and inviting, avoiding the cold, industrial materials typical of city terraces.

Drawing from Mediterranean garden aesthetics, we used materials typically reserved for interiors to create a luxurious outdoor dining experience. The table is enveloped in bold patterned onyx porcelain, appearing as if carved from oversized crystals. Matte gold-colored slate walls provide warmth and insulation, while LED-lit shelving offers elegant display space for glassware. The design deliberately eschews greys and blues in favour of warmer tones, transforming a commercial terrace into an intimate dining sanctuary that retains its allure through all seasons.

The terrace was in need of a statement piece that would serve both as an artistic focal point visible from the interior and a functional drinks table for social events. The design needed to draw attention and spark conversation while maintaining practical use.

We created a geometric sculptural piece in Corian, chosen for its limitless design flexibility and ability to be reshaped and repaired. Transported in two sections to navigate the building's constraints, the table commands attention while serving its social function. Surrounded by darker pebbles and illuminated by pedestal floor lights, the piece anchors a relaxed gathering zone. Wooden planks with underlighting add warmth to the setting, completing an environment that balances dramatic design with casual sophistication.

Our client requested an artistic door solution between adjacent apartments that could function both as a subtle connection and a discrete division. The design needed to harmonise with the curved design language of the newly developed apartment while serving as an architectural art piece.

Drawing inspiration from traditional shoji screens - sliding doors of translucent paper on wooden lattice frames - we designed a hidden door that merges Japanese elements with futuristic aesthetics. The piece combines oak veneer, backlit Corian, Kabric textured paint, and black glass to create a sophisticated barrier that appears as an artistic installation. Following the apartment's design language of subtle curves throughout, the door becomes part of the space's fluid narrative rather than a standalone element. This approach successfully maintains the discrete separation of spaces while enabling connectivity when desired, creating an elegant solution that serves both as functional architecture and sculptural art piece.

We were commissioned to design a kitchen that would serve as the central party space for large-scale, high-end events while maximizing storage and functionality. The space needed to integrate with the property's curved design language while maintaining practicality for cleaning and cooking.

We built the foundation with custom handmade joinery using 8mm plywood for flexibility, enabling the creation of fluid curved forms. This structure was then wrapped in precisely water-cut 35mm x 2400mm porcelain strips, with the front elevation featuring bookmatched porcelain to create seamless grain patterns throughout. Corian worksurfaces complete the sophisticated aesthetic. The striking curved island serves as the showstopping focal point, seamlessly blending with the space-age theme while remaining timeless. The orchestration of craftsmen, materials, and precise engineering results in a kitchen that transcends its technical complexity to achieve effortless unity with the space.

We were asked to design a storage solution for a modern kitchen that elevates beyond mass-produced options while maintaining a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. The space needed to accommodate both practical storage and decorative display, particularly for items like wine glasses and herbs, without compromising the kitchen's refined design language.

We created a backlit alcove system that integrates seamlessly into the kitchen's architecture. Using Corian paired with LED light sheets, we developed a display feature that transforms blank walls into dynamic focal points. The alcoves connect to the centralized lighting system, creating a warm, diffused atmosphere when mood lighting is activated. Each 2.4 x 1.2m panel was precision water-cut to match computer templates, with bullnosed edges for a refined finish. The result merges practical storage with architectural lighting, bringing life and warmth to the contemporary space.

We were asked to create a statement coffee table that challenges traditional forms while maintaining functionality. The piece needed to embody both sculptural presence and practical utility, with a finish that would complement contemporary interiors. CEEN designed this coffee table with a focus on angular geometry softened by organic details. The form features a distinctive asymmetrical shape, with the top appearing to float above its solid base. A carefully crafted bullnose edge softens the table's profile, creating a more organic, inviting presence that contrasts with the piece's angular silhouette.

We crafted the piece from solid oak, celebrating the wood's natural grain patterns through careful material selection. The dynamic form appears different from every viewpoint, with the rounded edges encouraging interaction and adding a tactile quality to the design. While the original piece showcases the natural oak, we later applied a black stain that enhanced rather than concealed the wood's inherent characteristics. This treatment allowed the grain to remain visible while adding a sophisticated, contemporary finish that grounds the sculptural form.

The result is a piece that serves as both functional furniture and artistic statement, demonstrating CEEN's commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional furniture design while honoring the natural beauty of our materials.

Our clients commissioned us to create a low-profile platform bed that would enhance the sense of space in an urban apartment while maintaining a strong design presence. The piece needed to complement panoramic city views and integrate seamlessly with the modern architectural elements of the space. CEEN designed this platform bed as a grounding element within the bedroom, emphasizing horizontal lines to enhance the room's connection to its cityscape views. The bed features an expansive black-stained platform that extends beyond the mattress dimensions, creating a practical surface for daily use while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. A dramatic steel headboard spans the width of the bed, its brushed metal finish reflecting and diffusing light throughout the space. This industrial material choice creates a sophisticated dialogue with the urban environment visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The low-level design of the platform allows the city views to remain unobstructed while providing a sense of sanctuary within the space. The result is a piece that balances functional simplicity with architectural impact, demonstrating CEEN's ability to create furniture that enhances rather than competes with its surrounding environment.

We were asked to design and craft a low-profile platform bed for a space where every centimeter needed to be considered. The piece needed to eliminate the requirement for additional bedroom furniture while creating an illusion of more space in compact surroundings.

CEEN designed this platform bed as a solution to both spatial and aesthetic challenges. The low-lying frame, constructed from solid oak, extends beyond the mattress dimensions to create a continuous plinth around the bed. This extension eliminates the need for traditional bedside tables while creating a practical surface for personal items, effectively reducing the room's furniture footprint.

The extended platform appears to float above the floor plane, lending a sense of lightness that counters the bed's substantial presence. This visual trick, combined with the elimination of separate bedside furniture, creates an illusion of space that makes the room feel larger and more open.

Each joint and connection was carefully considered and executed in our workshop, ensuring structural integrity while preserving the design's clean lines. The result is a piece that demonstrates how thoughtful design can solve spatial challenges while elevating the aesthetic of a room, proving that functional solutions can be both beautiful and space-enhancing.

CEEN was commissioned to create a media wall that would serve as both a sophisticated entertainment centre and functional storage solution, integrating natural materials with modern technology while maintaining visual harmony with the room's architecture.

CEEN designed a comprehensive wall system that marries warmth with luxury. Natural oak cabinetry with illuminated display niches creates a rhythmic vertical composition, while a dramatic expanse of book-matched marble provides an organic backdrop for the entertainment center.

The integrated lighting system highlights the materiality of each element - from the grain of the oak to the veining of the 2.4m “Rainforest” Porcelain. A linear fireplace adds both warmth and visual interest, while concealed storage ensures the space remains clutter-free.

The result is a composition that balances form and function, where each material complements the others while serving a distinct purpose. This media wall demonstrates our ability to create focal points that enhance rather than dominate their surroundings.

CEEN was commissioned to create two distinct living spaces, each centered around a bespoke media wall. The challenge was to craft multifunctional areas that would serve as both entertainment centers and inviting spaces for family gatherings, while reflecting the clients' appreciation for luxurious materials and contemporary design.
