O₂ — a spatial narrative that harmonizes minimalist modernity with French elegance.



Guided by the philosophy of "modern structure, French soul," the O₂ collection reimagines classical aesthetics through a contemporary lens. It pays homage to the refined lifestyle inherent in French design, while embracing the clarity, functionality, and sustainability of modern minimalism.



The design draws inspiration from the quintessential elements of French style—fluid lines, arched forms, delicate moldings, and symmetrical layouts—but breaks free from ornate tradition. Instead, it refines these motifs through a minimalist approach, using innovative materials and thoughtful detailing to create a space that feels light, balanced, and emotionally soothing. This design logic—"less is more, yet never empty"—reflects the very ethos of O₂: a life lived with intention, restraint, and quiet sophistication.



Materiality plays a key role in defining the character of O₂. Elements such as stainless steel, green luxury stone, and natural wood are thoughtfully integrated, blending the soft grace of French design with the cool precision of industrial modernity. A neutral color palette of creamy whites and deep grays envelops the space in serenity, echoing the purity and transparency of oxygen itself. These tones not only enhance visual comfort but also establish a timeless atmosphere of calm and refinement.



Beyond aesthetics, O₂ prioritizes function and human experience. Every detail—from furniture proportions and tactile surfaces to shifts in light and air circulation—is meticulously considered. The result is a space that supports a slower, more mindful rhythm of life. It doesn’t demand attention, but rather invites presence. It doesn’t shout for admiration, yet quietly captivates.



O₂ is a metaphor for life—symbolizing freshness, freedom, and vitality. It represents a return to essence, a design philosophy rooted in simplicity and emotional resonance. Within this space, time seems to slow down, and the mind finds stillness. Each breath feels lighter, each moment more fulfilling.



Like oxygen to life, O₂ to interior space is invisible, yet indispensable. It is the subtle backdrop to everyday beauty—the gentlest, most essential reflection of an ideal way to live.
