Hekla Property is a studio born between volcanic rock and Baltic forests. A world where furniture is not just function, but a presence – sculptural, quiet, and enduring. Working with natural materials by hand, we know that each piece is unique, that every table, sideboard or cabinet will differ from the next.

Time, touch, and the small decisions of craftsmen leave their mark on every surface.We are not interested in mass production or fast cycles. Our work follows a slower rhythm – one closer to weather, to stone, to the way wood ages and metal darkens over years of use.
Behind Hekla Property stands Railis – a designer moving between Iceland and the Baltic region, where raw volcanic landscapes meet European craft. His work fuses dark palettes, luminous metals and strong, architectural silhouettes into furniture and interiors for residential, hospitality and commercial spaces, always conceived as layered, sensory experiences. Internationally recognised with awards such as the Golden A’ Design Award and IDA Design Awards Silver, he remains discreet by nature, letting the pieces speak for him – each one a fragment of how he sees space, light and matter.

The Language of Matter
Our world is built on contrast: dark woods and luminous metals, sharp lines and soft edges, silence and drama in the same piece. We choose materials with character – strong-grained veneers, reclaimed timbers, veined marbles, polished or softly patinated metals.

Every project starts with how matter feels, reflects light and ages, then becomes architecture in miniature: volumes and proportions designed to anchor a space and stand beside art, light and shadow.
Hekla Property was born from a desire to create pieces that are not background, but protagonists in a room. Each object begins as a sketch that evolves into precise, refined prototypes, tailored with clients so the finished piece feels inevitable in its space.

Craft, Workshop, Heritage
Our production is rooted in a family-run workshop in Riga, where experienced artisans translate drawings into physical objects. Traditional cabinet-making and metalwork meet contemporary forms as wood is selected, matched and veneered by hand, and every edge, joint and surface is carefully refined.

Metals like brass, copper and stainless steel are cut, welded, polished or patinated in layers until the right tone and reflection appear. There are no anonymous batches – each piece passes through a small circle of hands that know its name, its client and its destination.

Hekla Property lives between two geographies
Hekla Property exists between two worlds: the raw North and the crafted city. The mood comes from dark beaches, lava fields, cliffs and long nights, shaping our love for deep palettes and strong, calm silhouettes.

.
The precision comes from Riga, where workshops and European craft heritage turn that mood into durable, finely made objects. From this axis, our pieces travel to interiors across Europe and beyond, carrying both rawness and discipline with them.
A Sculptural Form of Luxury
We believe true luxury doesn’t need to shout, but it can still be bold. It lives in weight, balance, strong silhouettes and quiet details, in patina and the way light moves across a surface. Our pieces are made to stay, aging with their owners until they become more than furniture – companions that reflect your idea of beauty.
