driTT is a furniture line that includes a wide range of tables, shelving units, home desks, benches, and stools, all designed for interior use. Crafted from decorative melamine-faced panels and produced with precision machinery typically reserved for kitchen and cabinet making, the driTT collection playfully reinterprets the logic and rules of this technology. The core of this product lies in the combination of highly automated cutting techniques with the careful assembly of top quality furniture panels, resulting in pieces that are both simple and sophisticated.

Though a straight line may seem simple at first glance, its potential for creating complex designs is limitless. driTT — meaning ‘straight’ in Maltese — injects a sense of rhythm and play into the rational world of industrial production, resulting in functional sculptures where pleasure meets practicality.
With its innovative use of machine-cut panels, the driTT collection offers a diverse range of furniture that is both adaptable and multifunctional. Each piece can stand alone or be combined with others, offering the flexibility to either make a statement or blend seamlessly into any space. Available in a variety of colours, materials, and textures, these pieces cater to different moods and personal tastes.
Designed to be flexible and open to personal interpretation, the driTT collection encourages users to make each piece their own, adding a personal narrative to their environment. By combining mass-production efficiency with carefully selected materials, colour combinations, and edging, this collection presents itself as democratic and luxurious at the same time.
Curated Materials: Nero Atlas + Vulcano Black
Nero Atlas resembles black slate stone, offering an intriguing texture and a mesmerizing gloss that shifts with the changing light throughout the day. The Nero Atlas panels are finished on one side, making them ideal for pairing with the plain Vulcano Black laminate. For example, for the tables and shelves, the horizontal surfaces are Nero Atlas, while all vertical elements feature Vulcano Black. Furniture pieces crafted entirely in Vulcano Black, provide a timeless and classic feel to any interior, ensuring compatibility across various design styles.
