Onlyonly

The future doesn't just show up. We design it. And sometimes, that work gets noticed. We're happy onlyonly studio has three nominations for The National Design Award of Latvia.

Daydreamer
In a world that relentlessly demands our attention, what if we designed an invitation to deliberately disconnect? To explore the space between doing and simply being? "Daydreamer" is our physical answer. Crafted from natural latex and stainless steel, it’s less a seat and more a dialogue with oneself. We showed "Daydreamer" at the Design Biennale Rotterdam and COLLECTIBLE Design Fair Brussels. It shows how we challenge norms and explore materials.

Home Ground
Design needs a supportive local community. We co-founded "Home Ground", a platform for this. It gives five emerging Latvian design studios (Studio Sija, ourselves onlyonly studio, gateris.works, Dace Sūna, Anna priede) a place to share their new ideas. Design's future is collaborative. Exhibition in SPORTA 2 was made possible with support from forward-thinkers like Bauroc SIA, special thanks to Jolanta Skutele and Māris Cimmermanis.

We are part of nominated community driven design events in Lucavsala.
What if design builds community? "Kopienas Dizains" project with the "Lucavsalas kopienas dārzs" Lucavsalas kopienas dārzs (Kristaps Šulcs, Elīza Brice, Emīls Hlevickis) and community «Lucavsala» explored this. Together, we didn’t just build DIY garden furniture; we helped craft a piece of new identity for a shared urban space, with blueprints open for all. Design as a shared language, a shared action.

A heartfelt thank you to our collaborators!
