The Retro Design Bureau by Coola Boola 2.0
Retro Design Bureau is the digital extension of Coola Boola 2.0 —
a curatorial project dedicated to retro memory, symbolic design, and visual storytelling across decades.
Here, each object is presented as part of a fictional archive, where time bends and emotion leads the way.
From atomic clocks to jazz-lit ashtrays, the pieces selected are not vintage artefacts, but contemporary echoes of imagined interiors and forgotten futures.
Coola Boola 2.0 approaches e-commerce as a form of emotional curation: not a catalogue of products, but a collection of timelines, dreams, and symbolic gestures.
Each year — 1933, 1947, 1964 — is chosen as part of the narrative, not the provenance.
Each collection evokes a room, a ritual, a rhythm.
🗃️ Think of it as browsing through a museum’s special collection — but one that you can live with.
—
An online exhibition of memory fragments.

**The Retro Design Bureau** is not a store.
It is a poetic archive —
a living timeline of imagined interiors and symbolic objects curated from alternate decades.
Each piece you find here belongs to a memory that never happened.
Each collection tells a story that might have been told under jazz-lit lamps or atomic clocks.
We do not sell the past.
We **reimagine it**, for those who feel that memory is not nostalgia — it’s a form of care.
_This is not vintage. It’s memory._

note
The objects curated by the Retro Design Bureau are not vintage originals, antique items, or certified design pieces.
They are contemporary products selected for their visual and emotional resemblance to aesthetics from past decades.
All dates associated with the objects are symbolic and do not refer to the actual year of production. We do not sell replicas of protected or trademarked designs, nor do we claim affiliation with any original brand or designer.
This is a project of symbolic design curation, powered by narrative imagination and affective storytelling.
By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept this curatorial framework.
