Dragos Dogaru_ Product and applied arts designer_

I am a product and applied arts designer, PhD student of the National University of Arts and trainee member of the Fine Artists’ Union of Romania, with my studio based in Bucharest – the city of my inspiration, being also the initiator of the #artdecobucharest project. Co-author and coordinator of the first architectural guides and albums documenting the local heritage, this savoir-faire is defining my #opartdeco design language. My design works were featured in publications and at Paris Design Week (2017, 2022), Romanian Design Week (2015, 2017, 2023), Berlin Design Week (2024) and awarded at BIG See Lublijana (2025). Graduate of technological and mechanical engineering studies in Romania and Denmark, my multidisciplinary approach aims to integrate all aspects of interactive and customizable user design, together with multifunctionality, which underpins my design concept. Starting from lighting design (Cuplo™ 360, Colors, Vasa, Alma, Moody, Nude Collection, Moody Nude) and furniture design (PLAYSTRAP™ modular sofas, BILLIPLAY™ modular shelves, BENCHY tables and banquettes) to graphic design and applied arts (Collection 2017, #opartdeco 2021, #theweathercatchers 2023, #thelovecatchers 2024), I rely on a consistent approach, in a playful geometric key, with surprising colors, textures and shapes. This is my work + inspiration, for updates you may also follow me on linkedin, facebook and instagram.
