MANU MATTERS

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.

Tolv is a furniture brand founded on the principle that effective design communicates softly yet clearly, crafting pieces that embody honesty—where no element is superfluous, and every detail serves a purpose. Making its European debut this year at 3daysofdesign, the brand embraces simplicity, intentional proportions, and a respectful use of natural materials, striving to achieve maximum impact with minimal means. At its essence, Tolv is dedicated to creating furniture that feels complete—visually, practically, and emotionally—collaborating with designers who share this philosophy. Rather than following fleeting trends or pursuing novelty, Tolv aims to produce timeless objects that maintain their relevance and strength over the years.

Foyos is a modular work furniture system that bridges living and working spaces. Launched in March 2026, it is built on the conviction that function and aesthetics are not opposites. In collaboration with designer Mark Braun, the collection reinterprets classic workshop archetypes and translates them into a contemporary design language. Solid oak, precise wood joinery and durable materials form its structural foundation. Produced with trusted partners in Germany and across Europe. The system of worktables, wall and storage modules combines and adapts easily to different working styles and spaces. Intuitive and functional in use, restrained and clear in expression, open to individual configurations.
