Unikoti - wooden products by Romanian designers

I'm happy to introduce a new Romanian brand of design products, especially when one shares the same passion as we do, for wood and quality wood products. It is Unikoti, but more specifically, Unikoti wood products.

Unikoti is a Romanian design brand launched in the summer of 2016, offering decorative objects for a unique and personal space. Unikoti's creations are made with great respect for craftsmanship and master craftsmanship - and each designer creates their own product, thinking and realizing every step, from concept and idea to the execution of every detail.

Unikoti products are created by two designer brothers, Bogdan and Florin Moga, and the wooden products are unique creations of Florin, who has been passionate about wood since he can remember. He crafts them by hand and each product receives unique attention, ensuring the quality of each finished object. He believes that there are no imperfections, only unique touches of character.

Specific to Unikoti's creations is the care for the wood, the choice of wood based on aesthetic and structural considerations, finding creative joining solutions beyond nails, using beautiful pieces of wood in themselves, carefully sought and treated.

Approaches the use of wood sources responsibly, including working with reclaimed materials. They are always looking for ways to use and combine the new with the old to create something beautiful and practical. They find it interesting to find different uses for materials that originally had different purposes.

In addition to an online shop of unique or limited edition decorative products, unikoti.com tells its story and completes the brand building.

Burly is the "knotty" wooden top table (en. burl) which stands on a contrasting leg made of mahogany and ipe.

Ipe is a hardwood, a dense and strong wood from South America.Exotic wood design (en. basswood) is preferred for the tabletop and further amplifies the contrast.

Making a box can be simple, buying a nice one can be easy, but a small wooden document safe is rare.

PaperHive keeps documents closed with a discreet, keyless locking mechanism.

What's more, it's far from an ordinary wooden box. Even the constructive design elements take it away from the simplicity and linear rigour usually found.

It is made of cherry and beech wood, and the veneer used for the box lid keeps the overall color harmony.

Strata is a beautiful box made by cold-pressing 210 sheets of veneer.

Keeping the shape, two recipes for combining and alternating the veneers were used, resulting in two variants.

Nuc layer

Strata Mahon

For the Nuc Strata are alternating species of walnut, maple and zebrawood covered ...

... and for the Mahon Strata species of mahogany, maple and on the top "freckled" maple (en. birdseye maple).

The locking system is unobtrusive and the hinges are well hidden and not visible from the outside at all.

As beautifully crafted as it is, the Strata is more of a jewel box than a jewelry box.
