Drury — Crafted from stories.
Who are we?
At Drury, we give old furniture a second chance and a new story to grow into.
We rescue pieces that once carried stories in someone’s home: tables that hosted celebrations, cabinets that stored childhood photo albums, sofas that witnessed embraces, and humble chairs that supported piles of T-shirts.
Together with young designers, we reimagine items with a deep respect for what they’ve already been. We collaborate with local craftspeople to sand, repair, and rework every piece with care. Nothing is mass-produced. Each piece is unique. Their histories make them beautiful, and our designs reshape them for lives yet to be lived.
Our values
Sustainability with Intention
We give discarded furniture a second life, proving that thoughtful design can be both beautiful and responsible.
Community First
We grow through people makers, neighbors, customers building a space where creativity and shared learning feel natural.
Craft and Collaboration
We team up with emerging designers and local craftworkers, blending heritage skills with fresh ideas in every piece.
In the quiet corners of our homes, furniture has always held our stories. We orbited around pieces that creaked, softened, and changed with us.
For our first collection, Planet Play, we take furniture with a past, and send it on a colorful journey. We add tiny “planets”, bringing a touch of softness and a spark of wonder to each piece. These spheres are simple, friendly shapes that sit, lean, or hover around the furniture, giving it new movement and personality.
This collection is about keeping each item’s story, then adding a new layer of imagination a light touch, a hint of color, as a reminder that pieces with a past can feel new again.

A compact wooden cabinet standing on round, planet-like feet. Practical, lighthearted, and perfect for small corners.
Aurora, Nova, Astra, and Ellipse share the same roots: they are a set of 4 classic dining chairs, beloved in homes and restaurants across Albania. They work beautifully as a set, and just as well on their own.
Nova explores how a familiar wooden chair can take on a more expressive character. The piece begins with a traditional structure often found in Albanian homes and restaurants. During the restoration, we reshaped the backrest into a dynamic double curve that rises upward, and introduced a sense of brightness by adding small spherical accents. Nova feels playful and confident, transforming an everyday object into something more sculptural and spirited.
A vintage side table refreshed with a single bright planet at its center. Small, sturdy, and made to hold your everyday things.
Aurora, Nova, Astra, and Ellipse share the same roots: they are a set of 4 classic dining chairs, beloved in homes and restaurants across Albania. They work beautifully as a set, and just as well on their own.
Ellipse is defined by its tall backrest, an elegant arc that gives the chair a light, almost architectural presence. Restored to reveal the grain of reclaimed wood, subtle sculptural accents follow the curve, suggesting a quiet orbital movement. The piece remains simple and approachable, showing how a single curve can shape the character of an object.
Greetings from DYVO
This work represents a dialogue between the memory of discarded wood and the vibrant, geometric precision of upcycled polymers. It is a narrative reconstruction of a landscape. The intervention characterized by upcycled plastic elements acts as a sensory map of the Albanian landscape. As the viewer engages with the verticality of the drawers, a geographical and emotional journey unfolds. A narrative in layers.
The core value of this work lies in its tactile semiotics. The upcycled plastic brings color, and mimics the varied textures of nature. By marrying the history of the wood with the resilience of recovered plastic, the piece transforms domestic storage into a sculptural exploration of national identity and environmental protection.
This beech dresser was made in Pogradec in the 70s. It’s not just "vintage”; it’s part of a larger story: a regional industrial identity, a state-designed domestic aesthetic. With its clean geometry and unpretentious design, it’s built to slot into any home and just work, without making a fuss. We respected that. The original wooden drawer slides stayed, because no metal mechanism can replicate the sound and friction of opening an old drawer. You'll feel it every time.
We fell for these reversible nightstands the moment we saw them. The smooth curves, the layered storage, and the dark original wood carry the design with zero effort and total elegance. Dyvo Lab worked with upcycled plastic waste to reimagine these pieces, which are identical in form, with a left/right configuration. The plastic additions introduce a fun, bright color, affording a more contemporary feel to the mid-century modern design. These nightstands are made to be paired, but we believe they hold their own separately too.
Follow our journey.
