Bogdan Ciocodeică is a Romanian architect and designer working at the intersection of architecture, interior design, and object design.
His work combines precise structural thinking with sculptural elements, forming what he describes as an “eclectic minimalism.” Through a practice that moves fluidly between space, object, and material, he explores the sensory dimension of contemporary environments.
Bogdan Ciocodeică is represented by Kolkhoze Gallery in Paris and has participated in international exhibitions such as Le cabinet du collectionneur (Paris, 2023) and Valuable (Paris, 2025).
He is one of the Romanian designers frequently featured in international design media and platforms such as ArchDaily, Dezeen, Architonic, and Archilovers.
Bogdan Ciocodeică has collaborated with two of the most internationally visible Romanian fashion brands, MURMUR and Maria Lucia Hohan, contributing to the creation of spaces and experiences that extend their visual identity into a coherent language of brand and experience.
DUOMO SOFA
The Duomo sofa explores the relationship between architecture and furniture, translating the form of the dome into a contemporary object. Inspired by the eclectic domes of Bucharest, the silhouette reduces the volume to a graphic outline, which regains its three-dimensionality through extrusion and rotation, generating a sculptural piece positioned between classical and minimalist aesthetics.
MLH BOUTIQUE
Designed as a theatrical scenography, the Maria Lucia Hohan boutique transforms fashion into performance. A monochrome stage frames the garments as if they were actors, while velvet, mirrors, and chromed details evoke the moment just before the curtain rises.
Inspired by theatre and dance, the space becomes an immersive backdrop for fashion.
MURMUR BOUTIQUE
The MURMUR boutique is conceived as a layered composition, in which overlapping translucent panels create backgrounds for the garments. Inspired by the brand’s materials, these elements evoke a diffused scenography, as if the clothes were emerging through a veil of smoke.
A pleated wall clad in mirrors amplifies depth and reflections, enhancing the spatial and atmospheric complexity of the interior.
"I am interested in forms of expression that transcend immediate geography and culture: the visual arts, especially cinema, theatre, and dance; because they operate through emotion, atmosphere, and perception in a way that can be understood globally."
"From the outside, Romanian design is perceived, I believe, more through this diversity and through its ability to operate with limited resources in an inventive way. There is an attention to materiality and detail, but also an openness to international influences, without a rigid need to assert an explicit local identity."
