GIRIA in Lithuanian means an old-growth forest that has attained great age without significant disturbance.

GIRIA is a unique biocomposite made from tree bark and a mix of organic binders, designed to bring the essence of the forest into everyday objects. The material is warm, tactile, and versatile, with a texture that evokes natural surfaces.

Developed through extensive material research, GIRIA combines pine, oak, and ash bark with leaf powder pigments to recreate the colours, textures, and even the subtle scent of the forest. The result is a sustainable, ceramic-like material that fosters a deeper connection between nature, objects, and users.

Currently, GIRIA biocomposite is used for creating objects like trays, lamps, small-scale furniture facades and other sculptural objects.
