Eugenio Costa and Nicolò Tallone presented Omnibite at Paris Design Week 2026. The project uses raw branches to create unique furniture.
The system uses special joints instead of traditional screws. It also keeps the natural shape of each branch.
A New Way to Join Branches
Omnibite uses a three-axis joint system. It also has a quick-locking mechanism.
The joints can fit branches of different sizes. They can also work with different angles.
This makes each furniture piece different. The natural shape of the wood becomes part of the design.
From Branches to Furniture
The designers showed a chair, table and lamp at Espace Commines. Each piece uses the Omnibite joint system.
The furniture keeps the texture and form of the branches. As a result, every piece has a distinct look.
The project also focuses on local wood. The designers highlight wood species found in Lombardy.
Flexible and Modular Design
Omnibite combines metal and 3D-printed parts. Together, they create a flexible connector.
The connector makes assembly easier. It also allows the branches to be positioned with precision.
The system can support different furniture forms. It can also be adapted for other small-scale uses.
Design Inspired by Nature
Omnibite brings natural materials into modern furniture design. At the same time, the visible joints add a mechanical element.
The project shows a different way to work with wood. Instead of changing the branch to fit the furniture, the system adapts to the branch.
This approach gives raw branches a new role in furniture making. It also creates pieces that combine natural forms with modular design.
