Softicated Sarl

Softicated is a new brand of contemporary furniture and lighting designed to promote feelings of happiness, contentedness and well-being in our home, a vital quest in this day and age. Cyril Rumpler sought inspiration from two notions: comfort and audacity. We seek beauty and serenity via the home interior that we create and Cyril Rumpler believes this is best achieved through the somewhat paradoxical symbiosis of modern sophistication with the gentle inspiration from Nature. Hence the name “Softicated”, a contraction of «Sophistication» and «Softness». This contrast between the use of elegant materials and our interpretation of a comforting Nature is the essence of what makes a Home. Softicated furniture and lighting are designed in Switzerland and carefully manufactured in Europe by local craftsmen.

Cyril Rumpler entered the realm of furniture design by that most beautiful of doors: that of his dream! Self-taught, he spent his entire career promoting packaging for the pharmaceutical industry. He has always been fascinated by the impact an object can have on the mood and emotions of the purchaser. In his spare time, he designs objects, infusing them with the power to convey happiness: carpets, light fixtures and seating. A few years ago, after a life-changing accident, he accelerated destiny by devoting himself to his passion by creating Softicated, the brand that brings well-being to one’s inner-self and one’s Home interior. Each creation begins with a line, a curve. This is where Cyril Rumpler’s inspiration comes from. It is the pureness of a personal perspective that is emerging, and not of a master or a style, in particular. The starting point is the shaping of the material to give a feeling of tranquility, calmness, balance and comfort with generous and reassuring dimensions. But not only... An emotion, the awakening of the senses also emerges from these objects, challenged by details unique to each creation. “You can linger and always find something interesting to look at, from any angle, even the least visible, it is what gives personality to these objects.”

“I hope that objects can be truly linked to those who buy them, that they can become points of attachment in increasingly challenging, complicated lives”… Cyril Rumpler has always felt a responsibility in the sustainable development and recycling of materials. Limiting the number of manufacturing steps of an object and recycling are major components of its design and manufacturing specifications. Designed with a minimum of materials and without mixed materials: wood, glass, steel, by artisans who make high quality objects that promise a long life to furniture that can be repaired and renovated.
