Dooq
Dooq creates designs that stimulate the senses and celebrate the luxury of living. Furnishings explore the unexpected meeting of opposite things: feminine and masculine, small and large, soft and solid, and past and present. Sensual materials like velvet, trimmings, straw, and glass combine with harder options such as copper, marble, brass, and wood in the studio’s distinctive pieces. The result is elegance with audacity, and which crosses the boundaries between art and design.
