O’Braid – The New Face of Bulgarian Design: Three Awards for Us at the “Bulgarian Furniture of the Year” 2024 Competition
We’re proud to share that in 2024 we won three awards at the prestigious "Bulgarian Furniture of the Year" competition with our innovative product – the O’Braid armchair. This recognition is a reflection of dedicated work, inspiration drawn from Bulgarian traditions, and our passion for contemporary design.
Awards that confirmed our vision:
- 🥇 First Prize in the “Conceptual Design – Professionals” category
- 💬 Audience Choice Award
- ✨ Best Product Presentation
These three honors mean the world to us, because they show that we managed to reach both the professional jury and the public. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted, supported us, and believes in what we do.
What is O’Braid?
O’Braid is more than just an armchair – it’s a design experiment with soul. Inspired by traditional Bulgarian weaving techniques it has been reimagined into a modern, functional, and artistic piece. Its structure is made from a metal frame,hand-woven with colorful textile cords. Every element carries a sense of warmth, coziness, and cultural identity.
We’re especially proud of the design’s adaptability – the chair can be separated into two parts: the upper half becomes a low lounge chair, while the lower half serves as a side table. The result is a multifunctional productthat adjusts to the needs and style of any space.
Why did O’Braid stand out?
- Inspired by Bulgarian folklore, reimagined with a contemporary twist
- Crafted by hand with an artistic, expressive approach
- Bold and visually striking
- Adaptable, practical, and refreshingly different
With its fresh aesthetic and deep symbolism, O’Braid stood out from the very first moment – proving to us that bold ideas deserve both recognition and a place in the spotlight.
From the Heart – Thank You!
