Exhibiting at Downtown Design 2015, Danish furniture and design company MUUBS is launching an even edgier collection of design items for the home. The classic, raw inspiration from nature has been furthered with craftsmanship and a masculine twist.
Scandinavian design from hand-carved and hand-painted reclaimed wood, core leather, traditionally woven craft textiles, 100% linen and timeless patina, which provides unique character – created with a starting point in a masculine universe.
The values ??in the concept behind Danish MUUBS have been sprinkled generously throughout the new collection. In it, the Danish design brand takes its international and classic starting point in nature’s raw and unique expression – and combines it with a new design concept and a number of new items. All delivered under the heading: honest, long lasting design.
"We concentrate on creating design items and furniture for the kitchen, living room, bathroom/wellness and for the entrance hall. For original homes where we, with our focus on craftsmanship and nature's unique expression, look for authenticity and honesty. Craftsmanship produces unique products, and using materials directly from nature or from reclaimed wood and leather gives a natural patina, making the items even more beautiful", says brand manager Karina Nørgaard, MUUBS.
This means, for example, that the popular wooden plates, wooden bowls, teak tree cutting boards and the modern, raw fibre concrete furniture will be joined by a number of new products.
The new collection has been created by teams of designers from MUUBS’ two design studios in Denmark and in Bali.
"In the future, all our collections will be created with international designers as curators, in order to combine Scandinavian design traditions with both original craftsmanship and international inspiration. MUUBS is not dictated by passing trends. We create relevant and durable design", says Karina Nørgaard.
MUUBS has furthermore introduced a new and important parameter to the market:
The design market generally appeals to women – and to female tastes. Every time we create a new product, we test the design by assessing whether men would like it also. This has given our collection a bit more edge and a more masculine twist. This is in line with MUUBS founder Bent Povlsen’s original idea which was to develop products for his own home. We wish to express the forces of nature and its beautiful, intense rawness. This means, among other things, that we in terms of colours are very oriented towards dark and classic shades such as black, grey, naturel and white.
Eye-catching design – also for men, who will probably also like the new wooden pegs made from kids sized shoe lasts – large enough to hang a coat or a robe.
