Lines by David Girelli

Lines is a distinctive furniture collection created by Swiss designer David Girelli, known for its sleek, linear motifs and refined elegance. Inspired by modernist architecture, the collection features thin, parallel lines complemented by the natural grain of dark oak. Each piece showcases a dynamic interplay of textures, combining functionality with a unique aesthetic that brings character and sophistication to any space.

David Girelli designer

David Girelli drew inspiration for the Lines collection from modernist architecture's clean, purposeful lines. He saw in these structures a blend of function and form — buildings that embody simplicity while maintaining a sense of calm and dynamic energy. This essence is captured in every collection piece, where the rhythmic alignment of wooden slats and thoughtful detailing enrich the minimalist design.

"Working on the Lines collection, I was inspired by modernist architecture — buildings that have shaped the look of contemporary cities"

Dynamic Details

The collection features a variety of furniture pieces, from dining and writing tables to cabinets, consoles, and bedside tables. Each piece is crafted entirely from dark oak, with its expressive grain as a natural extension of the textured facades. The linear motif is further accentuated by long, narrow handles that blend seamlessly into the rows of fine slats, creating a fluid, uninterrupted visual rhythm.

"Slats can seem sharp and aggressive if not properly finished. That's why I made their edges 'disappear' into rounded sides and legs. This decision softens the overall look and highlights the natural qualities of the wood"

David Girelli

The sharp geometry of the slatted facades is softened by rounded corners and tapered cylindrical legs, evoking the streamlined elegance of Art Deco ocean liners. This unique combination of parallel lines and smooth silhouettes recalls the aesthetic of the Streamline Moderne style, which is both minimalist and majestic.

Versatility and Elegance

Like all modernist furniture, the pieces from the Lines collection are versatile. Their rational design makes them practical and functional, while their distinctive aesthetic allows them to stand out as striking elements in any room. The collection's variety ensures that it can enhance any space: a dining table and sideboard create a cohesive look in the dining room; a desk with drawers complements a home library; and a sideboard with a combination of doors and drawers takes pride in the living room.

Craftsmanship and Materials

At the heart of the Lines collection is an appreciation for craftsmanship and natural materials. Girelli's approach to working with oak — a durable and noble wood — is meticulous. The wood's natural texture, with its soft, dark veins, has been accentuated through careful finishing, which brings out its depth and character. The precise horizontal lines of the decorative slats play with light and shadow, creating a striking three-dimensional effect on the facades.

"In the Lines series, I was able to combine the nobility of natural oak in a bold graphite finish, the strict geometry of forms, and the dynamic slatted structure of the facades"

Rounded corners and tapered legs enhance the tactile experience, offering pleasure both visually and through touch. The linear motif is used across all surfaces, from facades to wooden handles, perfectly integrating into the collection's rhythmic design.
