There are countless ways to relax,

 

but nothing beats resting at home.

 

grado invites you to discover “A Room of Your Own,”

 

where you can see life as it truly is.

 

01 CREATE  

 

 

Rushing to catch a bus, meet a deadline, or finish up. Work doesn’t just mean being at the office; you can spark your creativity right at home. Take a moment to pause, let the evening settle in, and feel the gentle breeze sweep through the room, clearing your mind. Leave space in your life for your creative corner, and start writing your own story.

 

The Gala Dining Table stands as the centerpiece of your creative corner, offering both elegance and functionality. Its natural wood grain, with warm, earthy tones, brings a sense of calm and grounding to the room. The table’s precise, clean-cut edges showcase expert craftsmanship, while its smooth finish invites both work and leisure. Whether you’re sketching ideas, penning stories, or simply enjoying a moment with your favorite cup of tea, the Gala Dining Table provides the perfect space. Each detail, from the seamless joints to the sturdy legs, reflects the thoughtfulness in its design—making it a versatile piece for dining, writing, or reflecting.

 

02 DIALOGUE  

 

 

Add a bit more color to your home—no need for a fixed style or rigid arrangement. Leave space for your furniture to breathe, creating room for those moments of sharing. Conversations hold a deeper meaning than we often realize. Make time for close friends, gather around, and chat, because sharing brings life into sharper focus.

 

The Brie Sofa brings a bold yet comforting presence to your home. Its smooth, rounded silhouette gives it a soft, approachable look, while the vibrant mustard-yellow hue adds a pop of warmth and character to the room. The sofa’s deep cushions and supportive design invite you to sink in and unwind, making it perfect for long conversations or simply lounging with a book. Its welcoming aesthetic turns any space into a cozy gathering place for friends and family, where meaningful conversations can flow naturally.

 

In contrast, the Drifting Tatami Chair offers a more intimate and grounded experience. Set low to the floor, it’s perfect for creating a relaxed, serene atmosphere, especially when placed near a window. Imagine the soft afternoon light filtering through the blinds, as you and a friend sit cross-legged on these comfortable floor chairs, sipping tea and sharing thoughts. The chair’s minimalist design and plush cushions create a cloud-like sensation, making it ideal for meditative moments or quiet conversations. Together, the Brie Sofa and Drifting Tatami Chair provide versatile seating options for every type of gathering—whether it’s a lively get-together or a peaceful retreat.

 

03 READING | THE SPIRITUAL ISLAND  

 

 

In the vast ocean of the heart, there floats a solitary island. It remains silent, yet it is deep and luminous—a spiritual island of solitude, a safe harbor for the soul.

 

No matter how big or small your home is, you can always have a corner dedicated to reading and meditation. Every morning or afternoon, enjoy tea and a book here, savoring the quiet moments spent alone.

 

Read a poem in the lazy afternoon, allowing your thoughts to drift deeply like flowing water. Turn the pages and let your life slip into a book, momentarily escaping from reality and entering another world.

 

The Burgundy Sofa stands out with its rich, deep brown hue, exuding warmth and elegance. Its soft, velvety texture invites you to sink in and unwind, offering both comfort and style. The subtle curves and plush cushions create an inviting space for relaxation, whether you’re curled up with a book or engaging in a meaningful conversation. Its bold color and classic shape seamlessly complement various design elements, making it a statement piece that enhances the room without overwhelming it.

 

Paired with the Hamburg Lounge Chair, the combination brings balance and harmony to your space. The Hamburg Lounge Chair features a rounded, cocoon-like shape with neutral, earthy tones that humonizes beautifully withthe Burgundy Sofa. Its cozy, enveloping form provides the perfect spot for moments of quiet reflection, reading, or simply enjoying a peaceful cup of tea. Together, these pieces create a harmonious flow in the room, allowing you to engage in activities that center the mind—whether it’s reading poetry, having deep conversations, or simply letting your thoughts drift in a serene afternoon setting.

 

04 TAKE A NAP | INDULGING IN IDLE FANTASIES

 

 

On an autumn afternoon, with the sunlight spilling over the wooden floor, I put on a soft cashmere sweater and play my favorite tunes through my headphones. Within arm’s reach are books, a cup of coffee, and some soft cushions.

 

Closing my eyes, either basking in the autumn sun or taking a short nap, has become my favorite new “routine.” I leave my life to my imagination, ready to indulge in an autumn daydream this afternoon.

 

The Fika Lounge Chair is crafted from soft, textured fabric that perfectly molds to your body, offering both style and unparalleled comfort. The chair’s sturdy yet sleek frame, combined with its cozy cushioning, invites you to sit back and relax, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Paired with a matching footrest, this combination elevates your lounging experience, allowing you to fully stretch out and enjoy moments of tranquility.

 

Whether you’re curled up with a good book, sipping a warm cup of tea, or simply taking a quiet nap in the afternoon sunlight, the Fika Lounge Chair creates the ultimate relaxation space. The footrest offers additional comfort, supporting your legs and enhancing the feeling of weightlessness as you let your thoughts drift. It’s the ideal setting for peaceful moments of reflection or indulging in the luxury of doing absolutely nothing.

 

05 CHILDHOOD JOYS | EMBRACE YOUR INNER CHILD

 

 

Be both a big friend to children and a friend to your own inner child. The big toys in your home bring rhythm and small rituals to everyday life. Leave a part of your life to the child within your memories, and rediscover the simple joys. They will never be forgotten, no matter how much you grow.

Together, the Zong Modular Sofa and Mushroom Pouf create a space that invites you to reconnect with the simple joys of life, reminding you that no matter how much we grow, the child within us is always there, ready to play.

 

06 BE ALONE | DIALOGUE WITH YOURSELF

 

 

Home is a utopia for solitude, where doing nothing is equally wonderful.  

 

Fall into the soft embrace of the sofa, as sunlight casts joyful spots on the wall.

 

Put on your headphones and listen to the white noise of the world, drawing yourself a little closer.

 

Let life be filled with music and dance, engaging in a dialogue with your body, as if you own an entire universe.

 

The Burgundy Sofa makes a bold yet sophisticated statement with its deep color and luxurious leather finish. Its sleek, modern lines and subtly tufted cushions create a balance between elegance and comfort, offering an inviting space to retreat into solitude. The soft leather feels smooth and warm to the touch, wrapping around you like a protective cocoon as you settle in for moments of quiet reflection.

It’s the perfect companion for those times when you crave a peaceful sanctuary—a place where you can sip a cup of coffee, read a good book, or simply enjoy being alone with your thoughts. The sofa’s deep color and plush texture blend seamlessly into a variety of interior styles, while also creating a personal space where you can disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself.

 

07 FOOD | KITCHEN AND LOVE

 

 

It’s common in modern homes for the kitchen and dining room to be connected. On weekends, it’s the perfect setup to cook something delicious with family and friends, while everyone relaxes and chats in the dining area.

 

The romance of life may lie hidden in the flavors of ingredients, leaping from pots and pans to the tip of your tongue.

 

The essence of life might just be in the simplicity of everyday ingredients. Savor the most abundant and beautiful meal of the day, then embrace what the next day brings. Leave life to each meal and truly taste the flavors of the food.

 

The Crepe Buffet brings a sleek, functional elegance to the dining area. With its dark wood finish and clean lines, it not only serves as a stylish storage unit but also creates a backdrop that complements the dining experience. It’s perfect for housing dining essentials such as plates, cups, or even an espresso machine, keeping everything conveniently at hand while adding a refined touch to the space.

 

At the heart of the room is the Horseshoe Dining Table, which features a smooth, curved design. Its rich wooden surface adds warmth and invites people to gather around. The soft, rounded edges of the table promote an open and inviting atmosphere, perfect for hosting meals with family and friends. Its minimalist design pairs beautifully with the chairs surrounding it.

 

The seating brings personality to the room: the black Omelette Chair with its sleek, modern design, offering a sophisticated contrast to the table. On the other side, the orange Walnut Cookies Chair adds a playful pop of color, its vibrant hue reflecting the joy of shared meals and gatherings. Both chairs provide comfort while also making a style statement, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the dining space.

 

Beside the table, the Flowing Trolley serves as a versatile companion.

With its mobile design, it glides effortlessly from kitchen to dining area, adding a layer of convenience and functionality to every gathering. Together, these pieces create a harmonious environment that balances style, utility, and the essence of shared moments around the table.

 

08 BEDROOM

 

 

We spend nearly one-third of our lives in the bedroom. Beyond being just a physical space, it’s an intuitive reflection of emotional value.

 

The texture of home is hidden in the folds of the sheets, in the journal tucked away in the drawer, and in the softness of the pillows. The way you sleep, the way you embrace, reveals your unique form of expression.

 

Add a splash of bright color to your bed and let yourself be wrapped in the soft, warm hues of red and brown, immersed in the cozy embrace of autumn. Let life be dedicated to sleep, and with each breath, fall into a dream where the rustling of leaves leads you to your most relaxed self.

 

In the midst of a busy life, you need to gently let go of yourself.

 

Return life to life, and leave some space just for you.

 

The Shawl Bed exudes warmth and coziness with its beautifully patterned fabric headboard and soft, inviting structure. The deep hues of the bed frame blend seamlessly with the autumnal colors of the bedding, creating a serene space that embraces relaxation and rest. Its wide, cushioned headboard serves not only as a supportive backdrop for reading or sipping tea but also as a decorative feature that adds character and texture to the bedroom.

 

Next to the bed is the Bonne Nightstand, compact yet practical, with its rich wooden finish that matches the elegance of the room. The nightstand provides a convenient space for keeping essentials like books, a bedside lamp, or a warm cup of tea within easy reach. Its minimalist design balances function and aesthetics, contributing to the overall harmony of the bedroom.

 

Completing the room is the Melody Coat Rack, a sleek and functional addition that blends style with utility. With its slender, modern frame, it offers a graceful solution for hanging coats, robes, or accessories, helping to keep the space organized while adding a touch of sophistication. Together, these pieces create a bedroom environment that nurtures restfulness, with thoughtful designs that bring both comfort and convenience to your daily routine.

 

 

What should life be like?

Is it about subtracting or adding?

Ultimately, that doesn’t matter.

What matters is that you feel you belong to yourself.

 

How many ways are there to unwind?

Resting at home is the best way.
