Bangladeshi design imprint Fico has just presented its first-ever furniture collection during Milan Design Week. It is made up of sculptural statement pieces that fuse modern influences with traditional build. The capsule is made up of a sofa, a side table, chairs, and some room dividers. The pieces were at an affordable rate, as the functional furniture also caters to a modern lifestyle.
Founder of the studio, Rayana Hossain shared with Dezeen, "I wanted to create a brand that feels like an escape, where old-world charm, global cultures and Mediterranean ease meet to inspire a new kind of casual luxury. Fico is guided by the idea of being playful yet poised. There's a lightness in spirit, but always with depth and intention. Materials and textures play a huge role; I'm drawn to old-world textiles, rich surfaces and details that carry a sense of history."
