MANU MATTERS
Cover image missing

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.

Step inside the Future of Craft in MANU's Micro Factory and meet the latest addition to the MANU family.

The idiom of AYTM is characterised by simple and stylish shapes, complemented by the sculptural structures of Scandinavian interior classics that stand out for their bold, voluminous, and eye–catching nature. The purpose of AYTM's existence is to reinvent design traditions, providing interior design with a new perspective through a more expressive approach to Scandinavian design. The magic unfolds in the contrasts between clean lines, materials, and surfaces, enhanced by a balanced and soft palette of colours, adding the unique touch to AYTM. With this, the essence of every AYTM collection is focused on high quality and exquisite details, creating exclusive yet long–lasting pieces that excel in both functionality and aesthetic expressions.

ALPI is a leading manufacturer of decorative surfaces made of reconstituted wood.

Inspired by a literary journey to Malaysia and the enduring presence of the Hévéa tree (rubber tree), the brand transforms a shared history into contemporary design. Its biophilic furniture combines sculptural clarity with functional purpose, connecting memory, material and modern living. Each collection reflects a quiet awareness of time, change and nature’s resilience.

Hind Rabii places emotion at the heart of design, conceiving light as both expression and experience. Founded in 2005, the studio collaborates with a select circle of creative partners, sharing a vision where material becomes language. Murano glass, ceramic, brass, and marble are shaped into luminous objects imagined as jewels for space—timeless, sculptural, and emotionally resonant. Technology lies at the core of this poetic approach: engineering and design merge to create architectural lighting defined by precision, invisible integration, and durability. Beyond objects, Hind Rabii builds a virtuous ecosystem, working with Venetian artisans and carefully chosen distributors who embody shared values, poetic, technical, and ethical.

EETAL is a project launched in 2021 by Japan Benex Corporation, a company specialising in precision sheet metal processing technology. Through collaborations with designers, it reconsiders the creative potential of sheet metal from multiple perspectives. Embracing an experimental approach, the project challenges conventional notions of industrial production and explores new dialogues between sheet metal and design. The name "EETAL" originates from "SHEET METAL." It combines "EET" from "SHEET" and "TAL" from "METAL," forming a coined term that symbolises the new form of sheet metal they strive to create.
