Seems Like Only Yesterday
SLOY was born in 2025 from a desire to interact with beautiful design, to carve out a creative space for myself, and to fulfill a dream of becoming a small part of someone else's story.
But this work is also deeply personal, it’s therapeutic. It allows me to tame the past and maintain a connection with those who are no longer in my life.
I'm a small-town guy living his big dream.

Hand-picked and heart-restored
Seems Like Only Yesterday is about a love for original forms, bold colors, and designs that demand attention. These objects are time capsules waiting to be opened again.
Every item at SLOY gets a new lease on life. Lamps undergo comprehensive electrical safety checks, and furniture is cleaned. We preserve the unique character that tells the item's history.

Let's create art together
We’re opening our doors to creators, putting unique forms in their hands and championing their artistic vision.
We want to create one-of-a-kind pieces that spark a dialogue between design history and contemporary forms.
For our first collaboration of 2025, we invited Kasia Sobala, an artist who reimagines furniture through the art of tufting. She breathed new, colorful life into a classic Labofa chair.

Ethical and socially sensitive business

Naming
SLOY stands for Seems Like Only Yesterday. The name embodies our vision and values, reflecting our deep connection to the past. Each of us nurtures memories that stop time itself, reminding us that even decades later, it still Seems Like Only Yesterday…

Key visual
Our visual identity honors the bold forms and colors of 70s and 80s design. The logo’s distinctive "Ø" serves a dual purpose: a nod to Scandinavian aesthetics and the technical symbol for diameter. This captures our essence, where artistic heritage meets precision.
