Why this house holds attention.
TIPTOE has established a recognisable European position through modular furniture, direct colour and a design-for-disassembly logic. The brand addresses a younger and more mobile home without accepting that mobility must lead to short product life.

Why this house, here.
Our editorial position, separated clearly from the house’s official record.
Objena sees TIPTOE as an important counterpoint within a collectible catalogue: accessible systems can still have authorship, documented materials and a repair path. The house is especially relevant to compact Australian homes and changing room uses.
Focus on connections. Legs, table systems and seating are designed around parts that can be separated, replaced or recycled, making the joint and fastener as important as the final silhouette.
