Buneē Living
Buneē Living is an assimilation of products born from our love of travel. Travel constantly inspires us, and in exchange, it provides us with new perspectives to design and experiment. We are two architects with a shared emphasis on design, but with different focuses. Vipul has concentrated on the practice of architecture and industrial design, with an emphasis on interior design, residential projects, and restaurants. Gabriela has dedicated her work to food design, experimenting across photography, illustration, gastronomy, and ephemeral spaces. For us, architecture is the starting point to understand space, nature, form, light, and matter in all their complexity. It is the foundation from which we approach everything we create—from the spaces we inhabit to the objects we use—always under the idea of architecture as a life experience. Design Principles In our designs, materiality takes center stage as the main element of decoration. We work with marble, ceramics, and wood, using them in their natural form rather than heavily manipulating them, while highlighting their textures, colors, and finishes. Our approach is guided by: Materiality as the focal point Simple forms, clean lines, and geometric structures Versatility and adaptability, with objects that are modular or reversible to suit various needs and lifestyles Timeless elegance, where form and function coexist harmoniously Identity Our brand language embodies simplicity, subtlety, calmness, rarity, balance, and timelessness. At Buneē, we believe everyday objects can be extraordinary, serving as a testament to exploration and discovery. Our designs are tangible stories that respect tradition while seamlessly fitting into the rhythm of contemporary life. We create not only products but also experiences. Each piece is a story woven into its material and form, embodying moments of time, rest, and contemplation. We embrace the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which values imperfection and the beauty of objects that carry the mark of time and human touch. By using materials in their raw form, we celebrate minimalism, simplicity, and harmony. Mission To create everyday objects that honor traditional techniques with a modern approach, contributing to a more conscious and slower way of life. Vision To elevate everyday objects into fleeting yet memorable waves of beauty. Values Handcrafted objects Respect for traditional techniques Unique pieces free from industrialized processes Embracing a slow lifestyle Celebrating the beauty of simple things Commitment to fair trade Promoting low environmental impact Buneē is more than a collection of products—it is a lifestyle and a way of perceiving daily life. Alongside our marble, wood, pottery, and textile pieces, we aim to offer experiences that honor the ephemeral, warm, and beautiful moments of everyday living.
