Extraordinary design convenience
Maja Ganszyniec - Polish designer specializing in sustainable design. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow and the Royal College of Art in London. She has worked with IKEA, Comforty and Noti, among others. In 2017, the Polish Institute of Industrial Design awarded her the title of Designer of the Year. She runs her own studio, Maja Ganszyniec Studio, where she develops original concepts in line with the idea of conscious design.
Mood Stories 2025-2028 is a carefully selected collection of over a hundred of the most fashionable decors and structures, divided into ten harmonious sets - the so-called moods. Each of them facilitates intuitive combinations of different materials, such as wood, metal or stone, allowing to create coherent and stylish arrangements. Compared to the previous edition, the new collection has been refreshed and given a more condensed form. Although the number of decors has been limited, each of them has been carefully selected and composed to provide maximum flexibility in interior design.
- The guiding principle of the collection is - convenience of design, as it can be treated as an inspiration, using ready-made decor combinations, or as an open tool that can be freely developed in accordance with one's taste, individual sensitivity or specific needs of the investor. When designing the new Mood Stories collection, we wanted to provide architects and designers with the greatest possible freedom of creation, to give them a tool that will be invaluable help in their daily work," says Aldona Slapa-Nowacka, Design&Product Marketing Manager at Woodeco.

Using the Mood Stories Comfort Collection, we gain access not only to 100 carefully selected decors, but also to 100 unique color combinations, the so-called sets. This is a guarantee that the materials are in line with the latest interior trends. The new edition of the collection introduces more than 50 new decors in the range of countertops and laminate panels, including a brand new palette of metallic decors. One of the most interesting novelties, which is sure to attract the attention of investors, is the availability of 11 unique decors from the Time of Oak collection - previously reserved exclusively for industrial customers.
- We were the first in the wood-based materials market to present a collection of its patterns and decors in such an inspiring and innovative way. It is an author's collection, unique and extremely facilitating the interior design process," he adds.

Collection appreciated by professionals
The new edition of the Mood Stories collection from the Woodeco brand is a fresh dose of inspiration when it comes to high-quality interior finishing materials and furniture. Mood Stories is a collection that has already won recognition on the market, especially among interior designers and architects. Before the collection was distributed to customers, it went through detailed market tests to guarantee its highest quality and compliance with current trends. Woodeco invited designers - the ambassadors of the collection - to cooperate, and they were the first to have the opportunity to test the new decors and color combinations, using them in their interior designs. The novelties from Mood Stories met with their great appreciation, confirming the unique character of the collection.
- The Mood Stories collection is beautiful and up-to-date. It seems to me that these decors will suit any interior, and the range is very diverse," says architect Martyna Jaworska of the Ma.Sphera studio.

- What are our favorite decors? We do a variety of projects, so we like them all. We haven't seen a better combination," emphasize Karol Pasternak and Piotr Maciaszek of Noke Architects.
In line with the trends
- We have been consistently following natural trends for several years, according to our predictions. That's why we dedicated part of the new Mood Stories collection to decors that were previously only available in the Time of Oak collection. We focused on oak - a wood valued and loved in our part of the world. The selected decors faithfully reflect the natural appearance of oak, taking into account its grain and varied knot pattern. We do not create something that is not in nature. We believe that thanks to this, the products created from these decors will be timeless and valued as much as natural wood," says Maja Ganszyniec.
The oak decors are just one of the many novelties offered by the Mood Stories 2025-2028 collection. Among the ten moods, there are brand new proposals inspired by the most interesting trends, such as Mid Century, Urban Eclecticism and Modernism. The collection has also been enriched with new textures, including Raw Wood and Wood Print, which give the wooden decors even more authenticity and a natural look.
- This collection is a continuation of the idea we started in 2021. We are pleased to see that the trends and phenomena we predicted at the time have indeed come to fruition. The décor market has developed in the direction of natural patterns, gradually moving away from so-called abstract patterns. We are also continuing to divide collections into moods and sets - a solution we were the first to introduce to the market. We believe that this way of working with the collection is intuitive," Maja Ganszyniec emphasizes.

Sustainable design
In creating the collection, the focus was on design complementarity. All Mood Stories 2025-2028 decors are available in HPL laminates, laminate boards, countertop walls and kitchen countertops. What's more, the laminated boards are available in P5 moisture-resistant and P2 fire-resistant versions. The collection is complemented by laminated MDF. Another key aspect that distinguishes the collection is its attention to ecology. All elements have been designed and manufactured with respect for the environment, which is an important element in the context of the growing environmental awareness in the design industry.
- It's an eco-friendly product that is very aesthetically pleasing and responds to new trends and customer needs," says Justyna Hys-Bochinska of J Creative Studio, one of the ambassadors of the collection.
