Where Structure Meets Softness: Nila lounge series for Artisan
Two design studios, Regular Company and Neisako Studio, present Nila for Artisan, a lounge collection that merges fifteen years joinery expertise with advanced upholstery craftsmanship. The project combines two complementary approaches. Working with Artisan for nearly fifteen years, Regular Company contributes structural clarity and a deep understanding of the brand’s design language. Neisako Studio adds specialized expertise to the manufacture of upholstery, approaching comfort as a precisely developed system rather than a surface layer.
Beyond product development, Regular Company and Neisako Studio also lead the creative direction and strategic planning for Artisan, having developed the brand’s identity, exhibition stands and communication materials. The Nila Lounge collection evolved from the Nila chair, which served as the starting point for the series. THE chair reinterprets the traditional typology of armchair upholstery. A sturdy frame and almond-shaped armrests create an archetypal impression, while soft transitions and visual lightness give the piece a contemporary character. The hero piece of the collection is a lounger defined by a strong rectangular structure that carries an organic form.

For the Nila Lounge collection, the wallpaper was developed as an integral part of the construction rather than as an applied layer. Neisako calibrated foam densities, layer sequences and internal support systems to achieve ergonomic comfort without increasing visual bulk. “The sheathed body is considered as part of the structure,” the designers explain. “It works with the context rather than hiding it.” The refined wooden frame and distinctly shaped armrests create a strong visual identity, while soft transitions and a sense of lightness contribute to the collection’s timeless character. The soft upholstery rests on a leather base, parts of which are woven to introduce structural reinforcement where needed, creating a detail that is both technical and poetic.
Metallic details with soft curved lines complement the form while adding visual emphasis and added strength. Based in Bosnia, Artisan produces furniture exclusively from solid wood, combining CNC precision with hand finishing. The company often collaborates with international designers to explore new material dialogues within traditional woodwork. With Nila, wood, leather, metal and upholstery work as a single system. The collection, designed by the collaborative group by Regular Company and Neisako Studio, appears understated, yet its construction reveals a multi-layered technical sophistication.
