Muuto, new nordic design at Maison&Objet
by Cosmina Dinu
One of the Nordic brands that manages to overcome our expectations, Muuto, presented some new “items-to-possess” at Maison&Objet in Paris.
Below are the ones we’ve got a crush on.
Raw Family – chair and candelabra
Jens Fager on the design: “Raw is a product family based on rough and intuitive interpretations of iconic everyday objects. Every piece is unique because they are all made of a piece of wood carved by hand with a band saw machine. With strong yet iconic look they can easily be placed anywhere in your home, at the office or at the restaurant. The Raw family is available in limited editions in various colours.”
Stacked shelving system
JDS Architects on the design: “How to be specific and generic altogether? Shelving systems have a tendency to achieve one concern but never both. We decided to dimension shelving units based on the generic measurements of things to store and display while allowing for them to be combined according to specific needs and desires… the result can be at times a random stack of boxes or a coordinated grid of efficient storage… or both!”
E 27 socket pendant lamp
Mattias Stahlbom on the design: “The simplicity of the naked bulb is hard to compete with. It stands for something that feels romantic and contemporary at the same time. E 27 departs from the essence of a lamp – the socket – creating a simple yet strong object that celebrates the potential beauty in simplicity.”
