- Art & Design
This autumn, Ethnicraft announces an impressive expansion of their collection, with no fewer than 131 new products set to debut at Maison + Objet. This launch reflects their ongoing commitment to craftsmanship and design, combining both classic and modern influences to create unique furniture pieces that fit perfectly into contemporary living and working spaces.
Ethnicraft was founded over 25 years ago in Antwerp by friends Benoit Loos and Philippe Delaisse, and the brand quickly developed its own recognisable identity. To this day, they continue to broaden their creative horizons and expand the range, without deviating from their authentic character. With quality and warm materials as their foundation, alongside a perfect balance between form and function, they create versatile collections for every room. Whether furniture that sets the mood and function of a place or accessories that add extra depth and personality, each piece is carefully designed to make a home more than just a collection of objects. 
Central to this launch is the new Sono collection, inspired by antique furniture yet designed with a modern flair. The sideboards and cabinets double with hand-carved panels and elegant brass handles, making them both a functional and aesthetic addition to any interior. This collection embodies the brand's commitment to uniting timeless beauty with practical storage space, resulting in furniture pieces that strike a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation. The expansion of their dining table range is another highlight. The new Tacet dining table, an elegant design of solid teak and metal accents, invites moments of rest and togetherness. With its refined finish and thoughtful construction, it is more than just a functional piece of furniture; it is a place where memories are made and shared.

For smaller spaces, Ethnicraft offers the compact yet comfortable Mellow sofa, made from recycled materials. This sofa is ideal for intimate settings where style and sustainability go hand in hand. They are also expanding their seating assortment with new versions of their popular PI line, including the PI dining chair, which celebrates the imperfection of nature. They also continue to innovate in home office solutions with the introduction of the PI wall desk. This desk is designed to maximise efficiency in limited spaces, without compromising on aesthetics. It offers a stylish and functional workstation that blends seamlessly with modern interiors.
Finally, the reintroduction of Dawn Sweitzer's trays marks a new artistic addition to the Ethnicraft range. The Second Nature collection brings nature inside with its organic shapes and earthy tones, making each tray a work of art in itself. With these new launches, Ethnicraft underlines their ongoing evolution and passion for design. Each piece, from storage furniture to dining chairs and accessories, is carefully designed to offer both beauty and functionality, helping to create inspiring spaces where people gather, work and live.
