Babushka

Discover the story of the ruffle that has become one of the most distinctive elements of our collection.

Meet Babushka

Scalloped furniture. Our story began in 2018

Some ideas stay with us longer than others. At Wood Luck Design, the ruffle became one of them - a detail that gradually grew into the signature of our Babushka collection. The original concept dates back to 2017, and just one year later, the first piece of furniture became a reality. Today, we look back at the beginnings of this project to show how a small design detail can become an important part of a brand's identity.

It started with an idea for a detail

Some design elements catch the eye straight away. Others gradually become a signature feature over time. In the case of Babushka, it was the ruffle – a decorative finish that softened the furniture and set it apart from simple, geometric forms.

The first designs were created in 2018. From the very beginning, we wanted the detail to be more than just an ornament. It was meant to be an integral part of the furniture, complementing its proportions and colour palette while giving it an individual character.

Details of Babushka

the beginning

From the first idea to a recognisable collection

Designing a piece of furniture is about more than choosing a colour and giving it an interesting shape. It involves working on proportions, details and functionality, ensuring that every element comes together as a cohesive whole.

For Babushka, the ruffle had to look beautiful while also being suitable for everyday use. Its shape, rhythm and the way it complemented the overall form all mattered. It is precisely these decisions that make a detail part of the design rather than an addition to it.

Babushka in its earliest form

Babushka did not always look the way we know it today. The first visualisation showed a more raw version of the design, with more pronounced lines and sharper edges. Over time, the concept gained depth, and the forms became more three-dimensional and refined.

It was at this stage that the design began to take on the appearance we recognise in the finished furniture. See one of the earliest versions of Babushka and how its look has evolved.

A detail that tells a story

The ruffle changes the way we perceive a piece of furniture. It softens its lines, adds a decorative touch and gives even a simple shape its own character. In the Babushka collection, however, it is not just an ornamental feature – it is the element that brings the individual pieces together into a recognisable whole.

For us, design is not only about the detail itself, but also about how it complements the form of the furniture and influences the feel of the entire interior. The ruffle draws the eye without overwhelming the design. It can become a subtle accent in a minimalist arrangement or part of a more decorative room. It is this balance between distinctive form and functionality that gives Babushka its unique character.

Babushka

A collection that became part of our story

Over the years, Babushka has grown alongside Wood Luck Design. What started with a single design detail has become one of the collections most closely associated with our brand.

We remember the 2022 furniture fair in Cologne, where visitors from South America approached us specifically to see Babushka. It was a meaningful moment that showed us how a distinctive design can capture attention far beyond its place of origin.

Today, the collection continues to evolve while staying true to the detail that started it all.

We don’t design for the moment

Interior trends come and go, but we believe the most meaningful designs are those that retain their character over time. At Wood Luck Design, we look for ideas that bring something distinctive to a space without relying on passing trends.

Babushka is a good example of this approach. The ruffle was part of the concept from the beginning, long before it became a more familiar detail in interior design. We have continued to develop it in our own way, making it an integral part of the collection.
