Skip to content When you enter Friendship House, you feel like you’ve arrived in a friendly environment, and that’s not about the furniture or the light.
Each plank bears the traces of an old story.
Restored from a traditional house in Porumbacu de Sus and saved piece by piece, Friendship House is an invitation to a real disconnection in a mysterious Transylvanian village.
“Look on the beams to see the year it was built. Then, add the numbers – you’ll 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 bears the patina of time.
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 pieces of furniture and elements, with a story.
The “X” symbol represents the sun’s rays, which fall on the earth and form a sign that in Romanian tradition symbolizes “friendship,” because it suggests two people holding each other by the 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, of different shapes and colors, it’s because friends gather in larger or smaller groups, and each has their own personality, more or less colorful.
If you are organizing a yoga retreat, a creative workshop, an artistic filming or a small party with dear people, this place offers setting, energy, significance.
