about

Parallell is a design firm devoted to crafting bespoke furniture and refined design elements, born from the creative vision of Raëd Abillama, founder of the internationally acclaimed Raëd Abillama Architects. As an extension of his architectural legacy, Parallell was established in collaboration with interior architect and furniture designer Bianca Michailidis, bringing together architecture, interiors, and furniture under one design philosophy. The firm carries forward a shared architectural sensitivity while focusing exclusively on high-end furniture design.

Parallell bridges architecture, design, and art to develop furniture collections and custom pieces born from architectural research. Each creation reflects a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technical fabrication, resulting in sculptural pieces that transcend function to become collectible design objects—often considered as works of art. These pieces embody a narrative of form and materiality, seamlessly merging artistic expression with utility. Every piece is produced in limited numbers and offers full customization in size, material, and finish—pushing the boundaries of creativity while responding to the specific needs of each space. With a multidisciplinary team and a strong commitment to excellence, Parallell delivers thoughtful, design-driven furniture solutions. The firm’s identity is defined by its ongoing exploration of materials, techniques, and textures, ensuring each project is both innovative and timeless
