As we step into this new season, it's time to embrace fresh angles—both in thought and design. Approaching things from a new perspective means breaking free from the familiar, analyzing shapes, lines, and details with a heightened sense of realism. Geometry becomes more than form; it's a story of structure, balance, and contrast. Each angle offers a new way of seeing, each shape a different interpretation.
This season, precision meets creativity with a focus on deep observation—dissecting the way lines intersect, how light ages perception, and how details define the world around us in order to craft a perspective that isn't just about looking but truly seeing.
