THE ART DÉCORATIF OF LIGHT. L’ART DE LA LUMIÈRE. Introducing ECLECTIC® TriBeCa Collection | LED-Corniche, where French design culture meets the architectural energy of New York. Sculpted in solid walnut. Defined by precision stainless steel. Revealed through integrated LED illumination. Conceived by French-American architect Lionel Scharly, LED-Corniche explores light as an architectural element, balancing warmth and precision, craftsmanship and technology, elegance and modernity. Developed as an open-platform lighting concept, the system can be adapted to the specific vision and requirements of each project. Light becomes material. Material becomes architecture. Architecture becomes Art Décoratif. ECLECTIC® TriBeCa Collection | LED-Corniche Design by Lionel Scharly | Scharly Designer Studio® L'élégance dans la lumière.

LEGARM® OUTDOOR The most important part of a design is often invisible. Not the renderings. Not the presentation. Not even the final piece itself. It is the development process that transforms an idea into a product capable of performing in the real world. LEGARM® Outdoor evolved through sketching, material exploration, stone studies, prototype development, ergonomic refinement, heat-conscious detailing, and engineering studies incorporating Marine Grade Stainless Steel construction for demanding outdoor environments. Every decision serves a purpose. Comfort. Materiality. Performance. Longevity. Because realization is never the beginning of the story. It is the result of it. ECLECTIC® | ORIGIN → REALIZED

The real question is what happens five, ten, or twenty years later when adjustments, maintenance, or electrical servicing become necessary. At ECLECTIC®, we continue to favor a proven wood-cleat mounting system for many hospitality applications because it solves problems that often appear long after installation is complete. The system allows precise left-right adjustment in the field, accommodates room tolerances, and provides long-term structural reliability. More importantly, concealed access openings behind the mattress zone allow electrical infrastructure to remain serviceable from the front without dismantling the headboard assembly. This approach is not driven by nostalgia. It is driven by experience. After decades of custom installations, we have learned that the most valuable solutions are often those that remain adaptable, accessible, and easy to maintain throughout the life of the project. Because design does not end when installation is complete. It continues through every adjustment, every service visit, every renovation, and every year of ownership that follows.

OCULUS® COLLECTION Not a series of individual objects. A collection connected by a single architectural language. The collection currently includes: • Headboard Program • Standard Bench • Hospitality Bench • Lobby Bench • Architectural Wall System Developed through a shared study of geometry, proportion, material, and craftsmanship, each piece contributes to a larger architectural vision. Progressing toward January 2027. ECLECTIC® Since 1996.

ORIGIN → REALIZED Design is not the drawing. Design is the decision behind the drawing. The radius became an opening. The opening became an identity. The identity survived realization. Some drawings are archived. Some ideas continue working. ECLECTIC® Since 1996.

ORIGIN → REALIZED This is not an archive of furniture. It is an archive of decisions. Long before materials were selected and prototypes produced, a single geometric idea defined the direction of the piece. The circular opening became its identity. The drawing explains the thinking. The chair proves it survived the process. Some objects age. Strong ideas do not. ECLECTIC® Since 1996.

Some ideas never stand still. Inspired by the movement and human connections associated with Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing, Shibuya Crossings® was developed around a simple belief: Meaningful environments encourage conversation. Meaningful conversations create connections. And the best ideas continue beyond the space where they began. SHIBUYA CROSSINGS® PRIVACY WHEN NEEDED. CONNECTION WHEN DESIRED.

Since 1996, ECLECTIC® has pursued a path defined not by trends, but by original thinking. Throughout the years, collections and concepts such as TriBeCa®, LEGARM®, LEAVES®, SINU®, and today OCULUS® have reflected a commitment to exploring new possibilities in form, function, craftsmanship, and material integrity. Some ideas challenged convention. Others anticipated future directions. All shared a common objective: to create distinctive solutions capable of contributing meaningfully to architectural and hospitality environments. Nearly three decades later, that commitment remains unchanged. We continue to develop collections with the belief that original ideas, thoughtfully executed, create lasting value for architects, designers, developers, and ownership groups seeking environments with identity, purpose, and longevity. We have never been interested in following trends. We have always been interested in developing what comes next. TriBeCa® • LEGARM® • LEAVES® • SINU® • OCULUS® ORIGIN → REALIZED

OCULUS® COLLECTION EMBLEM Conceived as a series of architectural studies, evolving into a unified language of form, material, and proportion. With regular production commencing in January 2027, architects, designers, developers, hospitality groups, and private clients are invited to participate in the next stage of the collection's realization. Beyond the presented works, project-specific adaptations may be developed to address unique architectural requirements, including custom dimensions, expanded furniture typologies, leather-upholstered curved seating, bespoke hospitality solutions, and new pieces derived from the Oculus® design language. The inaugural production period represents a unique opportunity to explore new applications, refine specifications, advance material expressions, and contribute to the continuing evolution of the collection through realized projects. From suites and guest rooms to lounges, public spaces, executive environments, and private residences, each realization contributes to an expanding architectural narrative. Priority production allocation and custom development opportunities are now available for select projects. GEOMETRY · MATERIALITY · RHYTHM · PROPORTION ONE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE. MULTIPLE REALIZATIONS. ECLECTIC® ORIGIN → REALIZED

LEAVES® Nature inspired the form. Human craftsmanship realized it. What began as an organic idea evolved into a sculptural seating design defined by material, proportion, and craftsmanship. The asymmetrical shell, rich walnut grain, and distinctive silhouette remain faithful to the original vision while demonstrating the discipline required to bring design intent into reality.

THE DIFFERENCE IS MATERIAL. In an era of imitation finishes and decorative surfaces, material authenticity becomes increasingly important. OCULUS® Ceiling Panels were developed from curved solid wood components and substantial sliced walnut construction, introducing a level of warmth, depth, and character only natural wood can provide. Suspended within a refined modular framework, each panel contributes not only to architectural expression, but also to the atmosphere and acoustic comfort of a space. The result is more than a ceiling. It is an architectural system that shapes how a space is experienced.

ARCHIVE No. 002 Not every hospitality project requires a new chair. Some require a deeper interpretation of an existing design. For Tapestry Hotel Seattle, the SINU® shell was reimagined through a custom leather-wrapped specification and hand-laced perimeter detail, transforming a familiar form into a project-specific hospitality application. From handcrafted construction to realized installation, every decision was guided by material, durability, ergonomics, and visual identity.
