Room for Reverie

Room for Reverie is a tranquil space filled with traces of an inhabitant who feels present yet unseen. Every item, thoughtfully placed, suggests that someone has just stepped out, leaving behind an aura of intimacy. The room seems suspended, open to new visitors but subtly tied to the one who occupied it before. It invites you to slip into a different life for a moment, a place where boundaries between guest and resident gently blur, welcoming you into the everyday comforts and mysteries of someone else’s world.

Founded in 2017 by Sophie Gelinet and Cedric Gepner, Studio HAOS has pursued an elegance defined by the ability to evoke emotion through restraint and deliberately limited means. Originally from Paris, the duo relocated to Lisbon to establish a large-scale workshop where design, prototyping, and production happen side by side. In this space, they experiment with ways to elevate humble materials, crafting thoughtful pieces that forge a path distinct from both mechanization and opulent craftsmanship.
