For years, door panels have been the main focus of premium woodwork designs. Their finish, harmonious proportions, and subtle details have attracted the most attention from architects and developers. The MORIC brand has decided to shift this perspective. The result of a collaboration with architect Aleksandra Grzonka, founder of the Cechownia studio, is NALLA, a new door model in which the most interesting element is the rounded door frame.

Since its inception, the MORIC brand has been creating doors for the most demanding projects, combining precision craftsmanship with modern technologies and designs developed in collaboration with renowned architects. Manufactured in Poland, the brand’s door panels are crafted with attention to every detail—from construction to finish—to meet the expectations of customers who view original woodwork as an integral part of the interior. The NALLA door frame is a natural extension of this philosophy. It is a model that has the potential to redefine the role of one of the most underappreciated elements of a door.
The Soft Geometry of the Entrance
The inspiration for the NALLA came from a custom interior designed by architect Aleksandra Grzonka for one of her clients. The guiding theme of the design proposed by Cechownia was soft lines and subtle curves. A natural consequence of the chosen aesthetic was a door whose form was based not on a decorative door leaf, but on a very deliberately designed door frame. Together with the MORIC team, the architect later developed this original detail into a full-fledged product, which has now been added to the brand’s lineup.

The design fits perfectly into one of the most important trends in contemporary design. Rounded forms have seemed to dominate interior architecture for several seasons now. They are present in furniture, custom woodwork, kitchens, doorways, and wall niches. Arches replace sharp angles, giving spaces a more artistic and soft character. MORIC brings this design style to door joinery, offering a solution that has practically never been used in this product category before.
Bringing this idea to life required the development of an entirely new technological solution. The MORIC team created a proprietary hybrid design that combines the aesthetics of a classic door frame with the capabilities of concealed systems. The result is a solution that preserves the characteristic, soft geometry while simultaneously meeting high technical and functional requirements. It is an example of craftsmanship supported by modern technology—an approach that has distinguished the MORIC brand for years.

The NALLA model is available in a lacquered finish. Aleksandra Grzonka designed it as a lintel-free option, exclusively for rooms with full ceiling height (up to 3300 mm). The design is complemented by the dedicated FIN Top 300-06 baseboard, 300 mm high, whose subtle milling pattern echoes the distinctive detail of the door leaf and frame. Both elements create a cohesive system for finishing the space.
Every project begins with a spark of inspiration. I believe that the best visions arise from careful observation of people and their stories. NALLA was born from a custom interior design project in which rounded forms were a fundamental element of the composition. It was a natural step to transfer this soft geometry to the door—not through a decorative door panel, but through the door frame, which until then had remained almost invisible. Together with MORIC, we managed to create a solution in which a detail becomes the vehicle for the character of the entire interior, ” says Aleksandra Grzonka, architect and founder of the CECHOWNIA studio.

In a world where architects seek solutions refined down to the smallest detail, the door frame ceases to be merely a structural element. In the NALLA model, it becomes architecture.
