MATTIAS STÅHLBOM ON HIS DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
I like uncomplicated ideas and I really appreciate accomplishing a lot with simple methods and materials. Obvious things that are so ordinary, they become extraordinary.
MATTIAS STÅHLBOM ON NEW NORDIC DESIGN
I hope it's equivalent to fun, good social values and an uncomplicated straightforwardness. - To accomplish a lot with simple methods. New Nordic design is in one way very international but at a closer look I guess the heritage has a great influence. We tend to think very pragmatic and simplistic, and we put a lot of work into durability. This could be misunderstood as boring, but it is not...
We are striving to expand the Scandinavian design tradition with new and original perspectives. In fact, our name Muuto, inspired by the Finnish word muutos, means new perspective.
To us good design starts with the person. We handpick the brightest design talent in Scandinavia and give them the freedom to express their individual story through everyday objects. Some want to alter the world, others find passion in colour and shape or draw deeply from personal experience. How do they see a chair, vase, lamp or any other everyday product?
You will know our design because it has muutos. Objects made sublime through new perspectives, enjoyed across the world, representing the best of Scandinavian design today.
