Blending beautifully with our mid century inspired pieces, we stock a range of slick, contemporary and multifunctional furniture made by Belgian and European designers called Universo Positivo.

UP made its initial stamp on the map at their first presentation in 2013 at Maison&Objet fair in Paris. Three years later UP has a strong brand name known for contemporary furniture and home wares with an emphasis on craftsmanship and a pared back aesthetic. The complete range is almost entirely designed in solid oak and lacquered metal resulting in an edited selection of pieces that are at once both contemporary and playful but also have a timeless and refined appeal.

We have been inundated with clients doing extensions and revamps and looking for fresh, clean-lined home wares to enhance their interiors. So for the month of July we are offering 10% off the entire Universo Positivo range!

All the pieces in the image above including the Domino rack, Squeeze table and Gud chairs are available at CA Design, 23 Dunville avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 or call 01 5143540.

UP's design concept to create pieces with a playful and pared back aesthetic with an underlying emphasis on craftsmanship is plain to see. The lacquered metal adds definition and pops of colour.

Each piece is multifunctional so a Spook is a laundry or teddy bear bin, a stool and side table, and a Clip shelf is an adjustable shelf to house objects in the living room, bathroom or kitchen.

The use of lacquered metal adds as design-led, slick aspect to the solid oak smooth surfaces. The range has lots of side tables and stools, which have a multifunctional feel to them.

Due to the clean-lined, pared-back aesthetic and use of solid oak, which has a timeless appeal, all the pieces from the tables to the accessories, blend into and compliment the interior into which they are placed in.
