The dynamic outline of this shelf system evokes the skyline of an urban landscape – spacious and massive at the bottom, broken and fragmented at the top, with a continuous horizontal base. Different configurations and dimensions are realized through the simple combining of the modules. Sfumato is a modular, stand-alone or wall shelf system for your small items. Those you want to exhibit or hide, either with a play of shadows or closed doors.

NUNC’s first versatile collection translates ornamental tradition into playful minimalistic design. The collection character portrays the contrast of rational and geometrical form softened by the materials, warm pastels and textures. These reflect the identity of NUNC’s geographical natural environment, the homeland of the well-known Slavonian Oak. Even the products’ name reflect their design’s character, and this is supported by the typical vocabulary of the Slavonia region that combines Croatian, Serbian, German, Hungarian and Turkish words into an imaginarium of the ancient lifestyle, sound and letters, typical only for this area. The collection consists of the KIER dressing table, bed & hanger (design: Natasa Njegovanovic), BOLTA chair (design: Regular Company), RUVO semi-chair (design: Vladimir Madunic), ALA modular table & COT barstool (design: RU:T & Natasa Njegovanovic), SFUMATO shelf system (design: Filter), DUJA cabinet (design: RU:T), TARABA wooden room divider (design: Katerina Trpovska) and the EHO mirror series (Lea Aviani). Nunc’s design language was developed by merging the diverse cultures present in the regional legacy - from Central European and Mediterranean cultural heritage to elements of Ottoman tradition. NUNC's roots lie in solid wood and wood-based boards furniture of the 18-year-old Ancona Group, harnessing its traditional woodworking craft combined with sophisticated industrial production.
