We saw beauty in a simple sheet of perforated steel, once destined for ventilation systems, and imagined it in a completely new way.

The design of the Venti Collection began with a clear challenge: to turn leftover perforated steel sheets from ventilation system production into something functional, beautiful and durable. In collaboration with German designer Marcus Götschl, FÓLK transformed this partially recycled industrial material into light, architectural tables made to live with you for years to come.

Each table starts as a perforated steel sheet, a material chosen for its strength, lightness, and character. Partly recycled, it’s sourced locally in Lithuania and shaped to last a lifetime, with the possibility to be recycled again.

Steel is one of the most durable and versatile materials in the world. It is strong yet lightweight, resists wear over time, and can be recycled again and again without losing quality.

In the Venti Collection, this strength and longevity are shaped into timeless tables made to live with you for years to come.

From his studio in Munich, Marcus rethinks the way things are designed and built and their impact on our daily lives. He celebrates craftsmanship that exudes a timeless and honest aesthetic, with a focus on natural materials. His work is inspired by personal experiences and those moments in life that leave him scratching his head. Marcus is aware of the responsibility and opportunity of design in an age of consumerism, mass production, and social injustice. He believes that there is much to be done in the future to provide the world with products that are fair in all social and environmental contexts. 

The Venti collection and its packaging are fully recyclable at the end of their life, supporting a circular economy and ensuring that every stage of each Venti’s lifecycle aligns with FÓLK’s sustainability values.
