A House with Soul

When you enter the Friendship House, you feel you’ve arrived in a friendly environment, and it’s not about the furniture or light.

Each plank bears the traces of an old story.

The Story of Friendship House

Restored from a traditional house in Porumbacu de Sus and saved piece by piece, Friendship House is an invitation to real disconnection in a mysterious Transylvanian village.

“Look on the beams to see the year it was built. Then add the digits – you will get 21. A lucky number, but also a promise: that here you will find peace, warmth and true connections.”

Everything you see and touch here has patina.

Time-honored Furniture, Brought Back to Life

The pieces are not brought for decoration. They are part of the house. They have been here, they have been preserved, carefully restored by local craftsmen and today offer not just aesthetics, but soul.

Authentic furniture pieces and elements, each with a story.

A dowry chest in which hand-sewn fabrics were once kept.

A table marked by the passage of time.

The beam marking the year 1848, when the house was built.

The X Symbol - The Symbol of Friendship

The “X” symbol represents sun rays crossing on the earth, forming a sign that in Romanian tradition symbolizes “friendship,” as it suggests two people with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

In the ceiling, the groups of bulbs are not just sources of light. They are metaphors.

If you’re wondering about the groups of lights with different shapes and colors, it’s because friends gather in larger or smaller groups, and each has their own personality, more or less colorful.
