The nature of the Leningrad Oblast is multifaceted and captivating: in particular, its northern region is a popular center for rock climbing.
Stones, lakes, cobblestones, and cliffs—these are the parts of the environment that most often catch the eye of a climber and constitute a unique climbing «flair.» This is what inspired the creation of the furniture line «CRIMP.CH.»
materials
The spirit of «CRIMP.CH”—primarily lies in ecological sensibility and minimalism. The use of natural wood texture and its revelation through brushing is the core visual element of the design. Simplicity and conciseness evoke the restraint of nature, not scarcity. The basic, even primitive, construction of the furniture allows it to be used in various scenarios and adapted to individual needs.
Facade concepts
Vibrant, colorful elements on the facades are created using brushing and subsequent painting techniques. The colors are inspired by the northern nature of the Leningrad Oblast, with an emphasis on climbing areas. The geometry of the elements is dictated by the angular, strict forms of granite rocks.

Side Table
The «CRIMP.CH» side table is mobile, lightweight, and highly functional. The door edges, designed for comfortable opening and closing, do not disrupt the facade’s smooth surface while still adding visual rhythm.
Chest of Drawers
The «CRIMP.CH» Chest of Drawers is spacious and statement-making. The blue back panel, similar to that of the bedside table, adds depth to this piece of furniture, making it beautiful not just on the outside, but also on the inside.
Pegboard
The large and versatile «CRIMP.CH» pegboard was designed not only for utility but also for aesthetic appeal: you can hang gear, organize small items, and do it beautifully by decorating it with souvenirs from climbing trips and favorite hobby accessories.
