Muuto - Brand Focus
Since it’s inception in 2006, the Muuto brand has been synonymous with stunning design, quality and tactility. Their stunning pieces often find their way in to our sourcing lists, and never disappoint.
The name Muuto, derived from the Finnish word "muutos," meaning "new perspective," encapsulates the brand's ethos. Muuto has sought to challenge established norms in Scandinavian design, blending tradition with a modern aesthetic.
The collaborative spirit within Muuto adds another layer to its story. By engaging with a diverse array of designers, Muuto injects fresh perspectives into its collections, celebrating a global creative energy in each piece. Their creations serve as a testament to craftsmanship, inviting a tactile exploration that goes beyond visual appreciation.
Sustainability is deeply embedded in Muuto's philosophy. It is not just a checkbox on the list but a core commitment. The brand's use of eco-friendly materials and responsible manufacturing practices demonstrates a conscientious approach to design, with an eye towards a sustainable future.
Two of the most iconic designs (and our personal favourites) to come out of this studio have to be the Outline sofa and the Fibre chair.
The Outline sofa, a central piece in Muuto's collection, showcases the brand's commitment to clean lines, modern aesthetics, and comfort. Designed by the Norwegian duo Anderssen & Voll, it stands as a testament to the philosophy of simplicity and functionality. Clean lines in soft furnishings often come at the expense of comfort, but Muuto ensures the perfect balance is struck, making this piece a significant "yes" from us!
Then there's the Fibre chair, an embodiment of organic design. Another iconic symbol of blending comfort with style, inviting you to immerse yourself in a chair that is not just functional but a work of art in its own right. We can't give any higher praise than telling you I’m sitting comfortably in one in my home office as I write this blog!
Where tradition intersects with innovation, Muuto pieces find their spiritual home in Glasgow. The city's design landscape, much like Muuto's, blends the contemporary with the timeless. As Muuto pieces find their place, they become more than furniture; they become part of the narrative of a city appreciating the artistry of design.
