Each Uecko creation reflects a deep respect for materials and an unwavering commitment to quality. This was evident at the latest edition of Feria H\u00e1bitat Val\u00e8ncia, where the brand officially presented the Stelo collection, a collaboration with prestigious designer Francesc Rif\u00e9, representing a new stage for the firm: more essential, more architectural, more attuned to the silence of materials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stelo was born from a reflection on order and proportion. Its name comes from the Italian <em>stelo<\/em>, meaning \u201cstem\u201d: a natural vertical structure that evokes lightness, balance, and growth. From this single, understated line, the system emerges \u2014 defining the space with quiet elegance. For Francesc Rif\u00e9, this collaboration has meant \u201cbringing wood into a very volumetric architecture, into the world of order.\u201d In this sense, Stelo is more than just a series of pieces: it is a system that accompanies the space, defines it, and completes it without breaking its harmony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collection is structured around vertical elements that create a constant visual rhythm. It provides balance, restraint, and freedom of composition through multiple configuration possibilities: from wardrobes, dressing areas, headboards, and vanities to benches and desks that can either be integrated together or function as independent pieces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The language of Stelo is restrained, sensorial, and profoundly architectural. Its materials \u2014natural oak, matte lacquer in dark green, frosted glass, and natural leather\u2014 establish a tangible presence that connects with the atmosphere of the space: seamless surfaces, minimal profiles, warm light, and generous proportions. Designed to integrate into homes where architecture is conceived in detail, Stelo does not occupy \u2014 it organizes; it does not stand out \u2014 it accompanies. A project that demonstrates Uecko\u2019s commitment to signature design, absolute customization, and contemporary craftsmanship as defining elements of its brand identity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Uecko\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calle M\u00e1ximo Aguirre 1, Bilbao.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calle Arrasate 47, San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uecko.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uecko.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With more than three decades of history and two boutiques in the Basque Country (in Bilbao and San Sebasti\u00e1n), Uecko has positioned itself as a leader in luxury furniture design, recognized for its excellence, customization, and craftsmanship.
