Case study / Furniture studio / 2026

FoundryNo. 9Built slow.

A luxury furniture studio experience built around restraint, material, scale, and motion. The goal was to make the website feel considered from the first frame through the smallest responsive interaction.

Make the site feel like the object.

The design language is built around restraint, permanence, honest materials, and objects that age well. The interface needed weight, silence, scale, and enough motion to feel cinematic without turning into a demo reel.

01 / Composition

Editorial, not carded.

Large type, long image planes, asymmetry, negative space, and full-width transitions replace a conventional stack of reusable marketing cards.

02 / Motion

Movement with a job.

GSAP sequences control hero reveals, image scale, horizontal collection movement, and studio transitions. Reduced-motion preferences are respected instead of ignored.

03 / Mobile

A different composition.

The phone version drops desktop-only sticky choreography, changes typography and image ratios, simplifies motion, enlarges touch targets, and preserves the identity without forcing desktop behavior onto a small screen.

The craft has to hold up in every frame.

The live site includes the complete collection, object pages, studio story, custom pointer behavior, and responsive motion system.
