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.

For more than 50 years, Agape has been synonymous with design culture. Founded by the Benedini family, the brand offers a wide range of bathroom products that combine function with timeless design. Each object enters a natural dialogue with its surroundings, forming part of Agape’s architectural vocabulary. International in outlook yet deeply rooted in Mantua—the Renaissance city where its headquarters are based—Agape balances global vision with local heritage. Agapecasa, founded in 2009, reflects this passion for design culture and is dedicated to reissuing the original works of post–war Italian design master Angelo Mangiarotti.

Some of FÓLKs circular designs—such as The Airbag and The Lava Vase—have already become modern design icons, expressing how one’s waste can become another’s treasure. FÓLK explores new circular systems and develops designs from materials that are discarded, disregarded or leftover and through that journey aspires to facilitate people and companies to create more responsible interior solutions.
