Bean Buro, established by Lorène Faure and Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui in Hong Kong, is known for its innovative architectural interior designs that fuse artistic vision with practical functionality. Our philosophy focuses on creating narratives within spaces that harmonise with their environments, drawing inspiration from architecture, culture, nature, and specific site characteristics.

Integral to our practice is our passion for bespoke furniture, enhancing the uniqueness of our projects. Our humanistic design approach views architecture as an emotional and spatial experience, shaped by both user and creator. By exploring contextual complexities—historical, environmental, cultural, and social—we aim to develop engaging and inspiring designs. We utilise artistic representations, such as sketches and models, to push creative boundaries and elevate the sense of place.

Our collaboration with DECCA, a manufacturer committed to sustainable practices, complements our values. DECCA’s Citizen Decca Programme underscores their dedication to the welfare of staff and ethical production. Their focus on high-quality, sustainable furniture aligns with our emphasis on creating a positive societal and environmental impact.

The Stoneflow Sofa exemplifies our design philosophy, blending organic beauty with contemporary style. Inspired by the fluid, rounded shapes found in nature, this piece conveys relaxation and tranquillity. Its soft, inviting curves that gently cradle the body provide a comfortable seating experience. The armrests and backrests gently converge above the seat and evoke a sense of weightlessness – as if they are floating, just barely touching. The intentional design of the curves enhances the visual appeal and creates an airy impression, evoking feelings of peace and serenity. This aesthetic choice not only serves the functional purpose of comfort but also transforms the sofa into a sculptural piece that elevates the look of any room.

DECCA ensures that each piece, including the Stoneflow Sofa, is crafted with eco-friendly materials and processes, emphasising waste reduction, renewable energy, and responsible sourcing. This commitment makes the sofa a beautiful and responsible choice that reflects a conscious lifestyle.

Customisable to individual tastes, the Stoneflow Sofa offers various fabric materials and leg finishes, including options like marble and wood. The contrast between the soft upholstery and marble legs enhances the design, anchoring it in nature with a touch of elegance. These customisable elements ensure the sofa's adaptability to diverse aesthetic themes while preserving its essential balance.

The selection of natural, comfortable, and environmentally friendly materials for the Stoneflow Sofa further underscores our commitment to sustainability. The design evokes polished pebbles along serene shorelines, enhancing the overall aesthetic and creating a serene, inviting atmosphere for modern living spaces.
