Furniture design
This brand was born in Medellín eleven years ago and has created an experience through furniture design. It counts on a group of people that have grown throughout the years and specialize in different areas such as engineering, prototype, interior design, and research. Perceptual is a company known for furniture design with a very defined identity. The furniture design products – created for commercial and home projects – are simple, timeless, fun, and made with carefully-chosen materials. They look for objects that, other than fulfilling their functionality, they are aesthetically pleasing. The brand´s known for the different versions and finishes they execute with wood, creating furniture design products such as specialty design chairs and tables. For this reason, they developed a technique called p. Colors (finished with a water paint base), which gives life to the wood through color while respecting the natural properties and textures that the wood marks generate. For them, inspiration is everywhere, which is why they analyze the typical way of living and the new ways in which people relate.
