BUDDE: Sculpting Emotion from Concrete
In a world obsessed with softness and perfection, BUDDE invites us to feel something else—weight, texture, gravity, and the raw beauty of material itself. Based in Cologne, this visionary design studio is redefining how we see concrete—not as cold or industrial, but as a medium of movement, memory, and warmth.
Their RUG’ N ROLL collection, exclusively available at Decoend, is not just furniture—it’s sculpture with a soul.
Design That Feels Like Architecture
What makes BUDDE stand apart is their design philosophy: material leads the way. Every fold, curve, and silhouette is dictated by the concrete textile itself—a patented innovation originally developed for structural applications, now reimagined for beauty and comfort.
The result? Stools, benches, and barstools that seem to rise out of the ground like naturally occurring forms. Inspired by erosion, motion, and soft geometry, these pieces evoke the poetic strength of nature. You don’t just place a BUDDE object in a room—you give it space to speak.
The RUG’ N ROLL Collection: When Concrete Comes Alive
Let’s talk about the collection that has everyone leaning in.
At first glance, the RUG’ N ROLL stool is minimal and monolithic—but the closer you look, the more it reveals. It’s folded like fabric, yet hard like stone. It bends, but never breaks. The bench flows in rhythmic pleats, while the barstool stands tall like a sculpted column from a future civilization.
Each piece is:
- Made from concrete textile, formed by hand
- Waterproof, fire-resistant, and suitable for indoors or outdoors
- Available in subtle, earthy tones like Sand, Stone, Graphite, and Sunset
- Surprisingly lightweight—some pieces under 25 kg
These are contemporary heirlooms. Designed to last. Built to age beautifully.
Born in Cologne, Designed for the World
BUDDE’s Cologne studio is a place where design, architecture, and material science meet. Their work is driven by curiosity rather than trends, with influences that span from brutalist architecture to minimal fashion to tactile installations.
Yet, despite this avant-garde spirit, BUDDE’s creations feel grounded. Real. Honest. They don’t aim to please everyone—they aim to resonate with those who value story, texture, and meaning.
The RUG’ N ROLL Collection: Sculptures with Function
What makes the RUG’ N ROLL collection especially exciting is the opportunity for customization. Clients can choose finishes, textures, and colours, creating an object that fits not only their space but their story.
Unlike traditional seating, RUG’ N ROLL pieces don’t try to disappear. They command attention—and they deserve it. The stool with its softened trapezoid shape, the bench with its rhythmic folds, the barstool like a column rising from an imagined ruin. These are objects you remember. Objects you photograph. Objects you talk about at dinner parties.
But they are never loud. Their power lies in restraint. They speak quietly—but with clarity. These objects are personal, intentional, and handmade.
Sustainability and Soulful Design
BUDDE places a strong emphasis on sustainability, ensuring that their designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible. Every object is designed to last, to age beautifully, and to carry its story through decades.
They embrace recyclable materials, mechanical joints instead of glue, and finishes that don’t harm the earth. But beyond technique, their greatest commitment is to timelessness—creating forms so pure, so essential, that they’ll never need replacing.
It’s not just sustainable—it’s meaningful.
