Tomorrowland, the electronic music festival famous for its elaborate stages, is entering a new space: your home. Its first-ever furniture collection, MORPHO, takes cues from nature, fantasy, and design history to deliver pieces for new, more permanent settings.
Named after the iridescent blue morpho butterfly—a longtime emblem of the festival’s ‘Spirit of Life’ ethos—MORPHO channels the otherworldly atmosphere of Tomorrowland’s stages into a full-scale, contemporary Art Nouveau design language for the home. The line includes furniture, lighting, planters, and bathroom fixtures, each drawing inspiration from the shapes and patterns found in trees, insects, roots, and wings.

The collection, which made its US debut at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, marks a first-of-its-kind move for a festival brand, bringing Tomorrowland’s signature blend of nature, fantasy, and intricacy into a new, more permanent setting.

Bringing MORPHO to life is The Great Library Design Studio, Tomorrowland’s creative division co-led by architect Dieter Vander Velpen, with support from lead furniture designer Emma Slangen. They’ve partnered with a group of Belgium-based makers known for their craft-first approach: Ethnicraft for solid wood furniture, Atelier Vierkant for ceramics, and RVB for bathroom fixtures. The result is a modular collection that feels both sculptural and functional. Refined, but never sterile.
Key pieces include the Cena Dining Table, with a base inspired by twisting tree roots and a top shaped by Voronoi patterns, found in giraffe coats and honeycombs. It’s available in natural oak or dark-stained teak, with optional wooden or stone surfaces in beige or green tones.

The Aleta Bar Stool, meaning “little wing,” takes its form from dragonfly wings, with indoor finishes ranging from brass to velvet and leather, and outdoor options in teak and durable textiles.

The Solis Round Daybed brings the festival’s sun-soaked lounging aesthetic to rooftops and patios, while the Zen Adjustable Lounger and Vime Lounge Chair take cues from natural branch shapes and woven textures.

Nearly every item offers a choice of materials and colors—green velvet, beige chenille, black leather, and a range of teak tones—making the line suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and suited to the needs of individual homes.

For bathrooms, the Mirari range of fixtures adds another layer of artistry. Developed with RVB, a heritage Belgian brand known for producing taps since 1935, the faucets and showerheads are made of solid metals and finished by hand in Brussels.
Sprouting some artistry within spaces are the range’s planters by Atelier Vierkant, whose founders, Willy and Annette Jansens, work from a seaside studio in Belgium. Their pieces are shaped from raw Western European clay, fired slowly, and marked with the artist’s individual stamp. Planters in the MORPHO line are paired with sculptural metal frames inspired by tree branches and come in white, black, green, or metallic clay finishes.

For Tomorrowland, MORPHO is an extension of a design universe it has been building for years—one that’s included stages, hotels, and interior architecture, and now, home objects. The designs are anchored in organic shapes such as branches, dragonfly wings, roots, Voronoi patterns, and of course, the blue Morpho butterfly.

Its signature storytelling whispers in the background; the array doesn’t scream “festival” unless you already know its origins. Part of its charm is that it works just as well for people who’ve never set foot on the festival grounds.

The festival’s most recent main stage, built for its 20th anniversary, took a full year to design and centered around LIFE, a theme rooted in mythology, nature, and transformation. MORPHO is projecting that concept forward, translating the fantasy of a weekend-long experience into something that lasts far beyond the festival gates.

Though the line was unveiled earlier this year at Salone del Mobile in Milan, ICFF marks its first major push into the US design market. Visitors to Booth 936 can explore the full collection through May 20, with plans for broader availability in high-end interiors and concept stores expected to follow.
