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.

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.
